Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA) and the Central American Corporation for Air Navigation Services (COCESNA) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on enhancing cooperation in civil aviation.
The MoU is aligned with the Third Qatar National Development Strategy. One of its top goals is strengthening Qatar’s global position in terms of air transportation and providing incentives to digitalize and automatize all means of transportation by taking advantage of Qatar’s advanced infrastructures, in addition to preparing a fresh generation of professionals in the industry.
The MoU stipulates the establishment of a framework between the two parties to develop cooperation in the fields of air safety, air traffic management, civil aviation security and facilitation, meteorological services, and legal affairs. This will be achieved through the exchange of trained and qualified competencies, along with information on civil aviation matters, let alone holding bilateral seminars, conferences, workshops, and training courses.
