In 2023 SkyAlyne was named the preferred bidder, and in 2024, was officially contracted to deliver the FAcT program.
Over the next three decades, SkyAlyne’s solution for the FAcT program will provide proven, yet innovative training strategies to ensure Canada’s military pilots and aircrew have world-class skills and capabilities.
