Serco Sharjah Air Traffic Services launched ‘The National Air Traffic Controller Assistant Training’ programme as part of their efforts to meet demands in the field of Air Traffic Services (ATS). The training programme consists of two phases delivered over a period of eight weeks.
This initiative covers Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunications Network and Aeronautical Data Access Systems (AFTN/CADAS) courses. During these courses, UAE National students will be trained to understand, manage and operate aeronautical telecommunication systems. This enables them to exchange information for aircraft operations such as distress messages, emergency messages, flight safety messages, meteorological messages, flight regularity messages and aeronautical administrative messages.
HH Sheikh Faisal Bin Soud Al Qasimi, assistant operation director of the Department of Civil Aviation in Sharjah, attended the launch along with the five UAE Nationals who enrolled in this training programme. Two among the five are first UAE ladies.
Hassan Karam, key accounts director for Aviation at Serco Middle East said: “As part of our ongoing Emiratisation efforts, are pleased to foster the professional development of Nationals engaged in Air Traffic Control (ATC).”
