Now, he\u2019s working to transform the airline industry by bringing the best talent in the marketplace together, powering it with investments to solve the most complex aviation problems using optimization, artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Grenier is serving as senior vice president of the company\u2019s new Flight Operations Solutions division and is also responsible for overseeing all global operations related to the manufacturing, assembly, and delivery of flight training simulators to customers. Within Flight Operations Solutions, Grenier and a global team of over 700 employees are working to develop and market industry-leading software solutions to help their aviation customers enhance passenger experience, operations and profitability.<\/p>\n<p>Comprising several recent acquisitions by CAE including Sabre AirCentre, Pelesys, Merlot, and RB Group, CAE\u2019s Flight Operations Solutions business launched one year ago, as part of the tech company\u2019s ongoing strategic expansion beyond pilot training to revolutionize flight operations for airlines worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have combined the rich legacy of 76 years of aviation innovation culture at CAE with the valuable software expertise gained through these acquisitions,\u201d says Grenier. \u201cThis blend enables us to develop innovative solutions that expand the horizons of possibility in both aviation and software development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"><\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n<p>CAE\u2019s foray into flight operations management will allow the company to offer a comprehensive range of digitally-enabled operations software and expertise. The integrated software solutions include flight training, operations control (recovery solutions to disruptions), crew management, flight management (anticipating disruptions), airport management (optimized gate allocation), and catering management.<\/p>\n<p>Running an airline or business jet involves complex logistics to ensure excellent passenger service, requiring optimized coordination. This is where CAE\u2019s next-generation software solutions come into play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a natural extension of our interactions \u2014 first with pilots, then the understanding of aircraft navigation in terms of flight planning, and in what we call the operations,\u201d Grenier says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the merger of these acquisitions into one business, we are now able to move our pilot and crew touchpoints from twice a year, during their training sessions, to more than five times a day,\u201d he says. \u201cWhy and how? Through mobile technology, we ensure crew members are always proactively informed of where they need to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grenier believes that with increasing challenges for the aviation industry, including economic constraints, disparate data systems and regulatory controls, airlines must have greater predictive capabilities to prevent disruption as operations increase.<\/p>\n<p>The industry, typically characterized by slim profit margins, fierce competition, and high visibility, continues to face staffing and expertise challenges. Grenier emphasizes the importance of effectively navigating these obstacles, especially amid labour shortages and wage increases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the pandemic, we faced a perfect storm where the ever-growing market became more complex,\u201d he says. \u201cHistorical technology debt, and COVID-19 driven resource constraints created the need for a cloud-based platform that could solve complex airlines problems holistically and deploy them in real-time to reduce operational impacts. That\u2019s what CAE\u2019s Flight Operations business is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company will continue to address these complexities by introducing new technologies and collaborating with industry experts worldwide.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Carbon emission reduction<\/h2>\n<p>Predictability can play a crucial role in optimizing various aspects of airline operations, ranging from flight planning to estimating wait times before takeoff, and even in-flight catering. By implementing predictive strategies, airlines can not only improve their crew management and profitability, but also play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, adjusting meal quantities based on factors such as consumer behaviour and seasonality not only minimizes waste, but also reduces the amount of fuel used to transport unnecessary weight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the last year, we&#8217;ve implemented a new AI model inside this software that is showing a 10% reduction in meal wastage,\u201d says Grenier, who reminds us that CAE was also the first Canadian aerospace company to become carbon-neutral in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you think about it, the nature of what we do, using a flight simulator instead of an aircraft, is by default saving a lot of fuel and minimizing carbon emissions,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Helping airlines optimize their operations directly aligns with CAE\u2019s sustainability goals.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Grenier highlights a significant goal\u2014integrating CAE\u2019s Flight Operations solutions onto a unified platform to \u201cunlock even further the power of data in terms of operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another crucial aspect is the integration of training and operational data. This merging is deemed key for optimizing performance while maintaining safety as the top priority. By combining these elements, the company aims to provide the optimal level of service to carriers worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/karlmoore\/2023\/07\/04\/how-cae-is-set-to-transform-the-aviation-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephanie Ricci contributed to this story.
