Our History
How it started
Claudio Teixeira, Founder, and CEO of Ufly Simulator was born in Niteroi, Close to Rio de Janeiro. Brazil. On May 02, 1970. Started working at 13 with my Dad. Came to Canada at 19 worked in many places as labor and had a window cleaning company for many years. Airplanes was my passion since I can remember. Never had the chance to be a commercial pilot. But always look at the planes over my head, especially in Toronto where the land is flat and you can see the traffic from Pearson International Airport. Ufly Simulator became a dream after a suggestion from my wife, Alessandra Teixeira, who gave me the idea and all support to start a new company. Thank you, my love. We opened our doors on October 27, 2013. From day one, there were many challenges, learning in dealing with the aviation industry, and some frustrations as well. I can what an adventure.
Who we are now
We are the only company with a 777 simulator available to the general public in North America.
Also, we have a 737/800 Captain seat simulator, 8 Cessna simulators, and ATC(Air Traffic Control) Simulator.
Some programs such as Fear of Flying, Air Cadets, and school field trips were developed during those 8+ years of operation for grade 11 and 12 students.
Like many companies in Canada, we suffered from Covid-19 with many lockdowns, restrictions, and fear. But we survived.
We continue to offer a unique, exclusive, and unforgettable experience for many people who have always wanted to be a pilot, but never had the chance, or are just curious to see how it works.
The future is a bright and clear sky for our next projects.
To help students and young generations to learn about Aviation.
Our team will continue to work hard to provide a professional service.
We hope to see you here and have a great, exciting flight.
Let’s fly!!!
