The agreement will allow both organizations to develop and promote professional training programs and conduct joint research projects.
“ALTA remains committed to supporting aviation professionals in Latin America and Caribbean to access vocational training programs. That is why we develop partnerships with different specialized players to reach more people in more places. We are pleased to sign this agreement with WAA and work together in shaping a stronger future for the region, providing new and better tools and knowledge to more professionals in our industry”, comments José Ricardo Botelho, ALTA’s Executive Director & CEO.
