This cooperation is aimed at supporting the development of the aviation sector in Kazakhstan, El.kz reports citing to the Civil Aviation Committee under the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
According to the Committee, the purpose of cooperation is to organize specialized educational programs for aviation specialists from Kazakhstan. These programs will be implemented by the Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA), which is the educational arm of CAAS, and will be available to civil aviation professionals from both Kazakhstan and European countries.
The training will include courses on aviation security and aviation management.

"CAAS appreciates AAK's trust and confidence in the training programs offered by SAA. CAAS is deeply committed to supporting the development of the next generation of aviation professionals. In the next phase of SAA's development, we will provide more training in the region outside of Singapore through partnerships with other states. This will expand the scope of SAA's activities and allow more people to benefit from our training programs," Juana said.
AAK's Director General Katalin Radu expressed his opinion on the importance of cooperation with CAAS. "The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between AAK and CAAS is of particular importance in Kazakhstan's cooperation with one of the leading aviation organizations in the world.
