CAE has signed an agreement to sell Flightscape, its airline operations software business, to aviation technology company SITA for an enterprise value of US$500 million, the company announced October 26.

The price is subject to customary adjustments. CAE expects completion in the first half of 2027, after regulatory approvals and other closing conditions are satisfied. The announcement establishes a signed agreement, rather than a completed transfer.

Flightscape provides airline operations software to customers around the world. CAE said the business will continue operating normally until completion, including customer service, support and product development.

Chief executive Matthew Bromberg described the disposal as part of CAE’s transformation plan and a way to concentrate on its Civil and Defense businesses.

CAE said it intends to use the proceeds according to its capital-allocation priorities, including investment in simulation and training, returns to shareholders and maintaining financial flexibility. The announcement does not specify a final allocation of the proceeds among those uses.

This report is based on CAE’s October 26 transaction announcement. The timing and completion remain conditional.
