Montreal, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) -

Simulators

(NYSE: CGT; TSX: CAE) - CAE announced today that the Netherlands
Ministry of Defence (NL MoD) has signed two contracts with a combined
value of CAD$60 million ((euro)43 million) for CAE to design two
full-mission simulators (FMS) for the Royal Netherlands Air Force
(RNLAF) as well as provide comprehensive maintenance and support
services.

CAE will design and manufacture one C-130H FMS and one KDC-10 FMS
for the RNLAF to support flight and mission training. Both simulators
will be qualified to Level D standards, the highest qualification for
flight simulators, by the Netherlands Militaire Luchtvaart Autoriteit
(Military Aviation Authority). The simulators will be delivered and
made ready for training in early 2009.

The RNLAF operates the Lockheed Martin C-130H as a medium-lift
transport aircraft, and operates the KDC-10 as a tanker and strategic
transport.

"We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with
the Royal Netherlands Air Force as a provider of state-of-the-art
training systems," said Marc Parent, CAE's Group President,
Simulation Products and Military Training & Services. "We have been
training RNLAF CH-47 Chinook aircrews at our facility in the U.K. and
C-130 aircrews at our facility in Tampa, and now look forward to
providing high fidelity training systems and long term services to
ensure the RNLAF C-130 and KDC-10 aircrews are mission-ready."

Both simulators will feature CAE's next-generation technology,
including the CAE Medallion(TM)-6000 visual system and Liquid Crystal
on Silicon (LCoS) projectors. Following delivery of the two
simulators in 2009, CAE will provide on-site maintenance and support
services.
