  1. SITA is now reporting this
  2. New headline Was: “CAE to sell airline operations software business Flightscape to SITA in $500 million deal”
  3. Our desk filed its story

Montreal-based CAE Inc. said Monday it has agreed to sell Flightscape, its airline operations software business, to SITA for an enterprise value of US$500 million, subject to customary adjustments. A Reuters headline the same day listed the same figure.

CAE said the transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027 after regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.

SITA, based in Geneva, said Flightscape software is used daily by more than 90 airlines for planning, crew, operations control, ground coordination and in-flight services1. SITA said work to connect Flightscape with its own products will start only after the deal closes1.

SITA Chief Executive David Lavorel said the combination is meant to help airlines anticipate disruption and recover more effectively1. SITA said Flightscape customers would keep existing service, and that connecting Flightscape to SITA products would start only after close1.
