Eastern Air Lines (2nd) (Miami) has announced it has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with CAE, the flight simulator manufacturer, under which CAE will provide Eastern with flight training solutions as it grows its fleet of Boeing 737-800 and MAX aircraft and eventually the Mitsubishi Regional Jet.

The new Eastern is planning to re-establish an Eastern Flight Training Academy in Miami.

The first Boeing 737-800 is due to arrive from Shannon, Ireland via a fuel stop in Miami on December 19.
