By instilling these skills, the programme aims to ensure effective management of aviation issues and the consistent implementation of industry best practices.
Following his signature of the agreement, ICAO Secretary General Juan Carlos Salazar remarked that “the Global Aviation Professional Programme represents a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to enhance the competencies of aviation professionals, and support States in their efforts to assure the highest standards of civil aviation regulation. This programme exemplifies the power of partnerships and our commitment to fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement in the aviation sector.”
