CAE Parc Aviation

Originally a subsidiary of Irish flag carrier Aer Lingus, the ownership of CAE Parc Aviation passed to management following a buyout in 1995. In July 2008, CAE Parc Aviation was acquired by the Oxford Aviation Academy (OAA) group adding CAE Parc Aviation's flight crew and technical resourcing services to the group's extensive training portfolio.

In May 2012, CAE acquired Oxford Aviation Academy and Parc Aviation to broaden its comprehensive portfolio of capabilities for providing airlines and aircraft operators with end-to-end training and crew sourcing solutions.
