During the event, another MOU was also signed detailing sponsorships that will enable a second batch of civil aviation staff from countries looking for capacity building in aviation to participate in the Advanced Master in Air Transport Management Programme, which is jointly delivered by the Hong Kong International Aviation Academy (HKIAA) and Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile (ENAC, or National School of Civil Aviation of France).

These arrangements, says AAHK, demonstrate HKIAA’s efforts in fostering Hong Kong as an international aviation training hub.
