UAE: Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) and the International Association of Airport Executives (IAAE) to enhance aviation and training services, including the establishment of a regional training centre in Abu Dhabi for airport executives in the Gulf and Middle East regions.
The memorandum, signed at AAAE’s recent annual conference in Philadelphia, calls for ADAC’s Gulf Centre for Aviation Studies to be the region’s exclusive learning centre for AAAE and IAAE training programmes, including the Accredited Airport Executive programme.
ADAC also plans to work with AAAE on other initiatives, including aviation business development, conferences, training and research that aim to benefit the rapidly developing Middle East and Gulf regions.
The Gulf Centre for Aviation Studies was certified by the International Civil Aviation Organization last year. The centre’s training programmes, which will be set up in Al Bateen Airport, are expected to be launched by the end of this year.
