Aviation body opens its first training centre

Cambodia's aviation authority officially opened its first ever training centre yesterday, finalising a four-year project funded by the South Korean government aimed at building local aviation sector skills, a government spokesman said.

The training centre, located at the Phnom Penh International Airport, was built with an investment of $10.1 million, funded and supervised by South Korea’s International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). The official handing over ceremony was attended by Mao Havannall, secretary of the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA), and Jeong Yun Gil, country director of KOICA.

Sinn Chanserey Vutha, spokesman of the SSCA, told the Post yesterday that the initial goal of the centre would be to enhance the skills of the 10,000 Cambodians already working in the aviation field. In the future, the centre would provide opportunities for high-school graduates seeking to enter the burgeoning industry, he said.
