EUROCONTROL’s Aviation Learning Centre (ALC) and Dutch company, JAA Training Organisation (JAA TO), have formed a collaboration via the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop joint aviation training programmes.
“Fostering collaboration across the aviation ecosystem and meeting the evolving needs of the industry is central to the work of our Aviation Learning Centre,” said Raúl Medina, EUROCONTROL Director General. “This new partnership with JAA TO will enable us jointly to strengthen our support to European aviation with a new range of high-quality courses, tools and services. Through this MoU, we will maximise synergies and deliver innovative solutions that advance safety and efficiency in our sector.”
Through the partnership, the organisations will combine EUROCONTROL’s air traffic management links and expertise with JAA TO’s strong position in aviation regulatory training.
“Partnering with EUROCONTROL to deliver high-impact, comprehensive joint training solutions will provide significant added value to the global aviation community,” commented Paula de Almeida, JAA TO Chief Executive Officer. “A first focus will be to develop joint training programmes in the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) domain highlighting our combined expertise in this innovative category. Such harmonised approach of our two top organisations will empower aviation professionals to gain lasting competence and foster a safe and secure air transport industry.”
One of EUROCONTROL’s focuses is to develop air traffic management surrounding UAS and safely integrate the evolving systems into current airspace, an initiative that regulatory training will assist.
