IN KEEPING with its vision to advance expertise and knowledge in the aviation industry, Gulf Centre for Aviation Studies (GCAS) has signed an MoU with the Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA).
This development is a further step towards the centre’s ambition to lead the aviation industry in the region towards world class standards in operation and management. Through the MoU, GCAS, a GCAA and ICAO recognised centre, will expand its client network to include the niche market managed by MEBAA, to offer it internationally accredited programmes certified by world leaders in aviation training such as JAATO and ACI.
As part of the pioneering role of both parties, the agreement encourages the two organizations to form a training committee, comprising one representative from each association, to identify and evaluate the needs of MEBAA’s partners and members, and the trainings offered to them. Furthermore, under the terms of this MoU, the centre will have access to all MEBAA events, trade shows, conferences, exhibitions and seminars to use as a platform to have its voice heard, and in return, MEBAA members will have a privileged rate to all GCAS courses.
Mohammed Al Bulooki, general manager of GCAS, said: “This partnership with MEBAA is another milestone for GCAS, as it will serve our goal in furthering the collective expertise and knowledge base in our industry and our aim of providing training solutions for all key aviation organisations in the region. We will have access to a new base of governmental and aviation companies to further develop and expand our training programmes. We can extend our services beyond the region.”
