EUROCONTROL’s Aviation Learning Centre (ALC) and the JAA Training Organisation (JAA TO) have teamed up to formalise a strategic collaboration to enhance aviation learning and better address industry needs by developing 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. This new partnership with JAATO 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.
- Raúl Medina, EUROCONTROL Director General
Partnering with EUROCONTROL to deliver high-impact, comprehensive joint training solutions will provide significant added value to the global aviation community. 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 hamornised approach of our two top organisations will empower aviation professionals to gain lasting competence and foster a safe and secure air transport industry.
