Manchester, UK. EDM, a leading global provider of training simulators to the civil aviation and defence sectors, announced today that it has shipped a Cabin Emergency Evacuation Trainer (CEET) to Ethiopian Airlines.

Manufactured at EDM’s UK headquarters in Manchester, the CEET is specifically designed to provide a highly realistic training environment for Ethiopian Airlines’ cabin crew covering key procedures such as door operation, evacuation, fire and smoke training, cabin communications and aircraft systems familiarisation. The CEET is also fitted with SEPTRE, EDM’s market-leading audio-visual system that elevates cabin crew training to the highest industry standards.
