GCAA and GCAS sign a cooperation agreement for specialised human resource

The agreement falls under the GCAA's efforts to contribute to the development of the civil aviation sector so that it meets world standards through the establishment of frameworks for mutual cooperation with local and federal training centers in order to develop human resources and enable them to keep abreast of the latest developments in the civil aviation sector and enhance safety and security in the sector.

Under the agreement, the two parties will cooperate through all means to support initiatives and programmes proposed and provided by either of them in order to achieve the goals of the agreement. The agreement allows the GCAA to use the free seats allocated to it for non-profit purposes under the terms of the agreement and to send lists of candidates for the training courses. On the other hand, GCAS will provide the GCAA with experienced trainers as and when needed, subject to availability.

"Through various mechanisms and agreements, the GCAA aims at promoting specialised human resources, particularly UAE nationals, in the civil aviation sector. There is a remarkable shortage of UAE nationals who are qualified to work in this sector, and one of the priorities of the GCAA is to enhance safety in this sector, which is strongly connected with the safety and security of the civil aviation staff and customers." said bin Ghalib, deputy director general of GCAA.
