"We are delighted that new customers Malaysia Airlines, Kenya Airways, and Mount Cook Airlines have placed their trust and confidence in CAE for their full-flight simulator needs.

They will be delivered to the Malaysia Airlines training centre in Kuala Lumpur and are expected to be ready-for-training toward the end of 2010.
