The two sides signed a strategic cooperation agreement on October 21 to develop skilled personnel for the global aviation sector. The ceremony took place in the presence of Party General Secretary To Lam and senior government and business representatives during his official visit to Finland – the first by a Vietnamese Party leader in more than five decades of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Under the agreement, Airways Aviation will collaborate with the Vietjet Aviation Academy (VJAA) to implement international-standard pilot training programmes in Europe. These will comply with regulations from the International Civil Aviation Organisation, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam.

The specialised multi-crew pilot licence and commercial pilot licence courses aim to develop a new generation of pilots to support Vietjet’s global expansion and sustainable growth strategy.
