Cambodia: Aviation industry to fly higher with new training courses

The New Year will come with a plethora of new courses to expand the skillset of those involved in Cambodia’s nascent but expanding aviation sector, with the Civil Aviation Training Center (CATC) recently announcing 26 training programmes to be offered throughout 2018. Speaking during a seminar on professional development in the aviation sector, Lim Kao, the director of CATC and vice-CEO of Cambodia Angkor Air – the nation’s flag carrier – said the upcoming courses are needed to propel the development of the local aviation industry and help bring it up to par with international standards. “With the rapid growth in the aviation sector, particularly when it comes to technology, we need to continually update our capabilities,” he said. “These courses will help the industry reach international standards of quality and service.” Kao told attendants that the new courses will comply with international standards and regulations in the industry and urged all companies in the sector to send their staff to their facilities next year to take advantage of the new training options.<br/>
