Air Cairo, SAVIS, and Academy Sign Protocols to Elevate Egypt's Aviation Training.

Egypt’s civil aviation sector saw a significant push for workforce development in 2025. The Egyptian Aviation Academy (EAA) finalized several major cooperation protocols. These agreements aim to enhance training and qualification across key industry segments. The goal is to align Egyptian aviation human capital with top global standards.

Strengthening Airport and Air Navigation Expertise

Minister of Civil Aviation Sameh el-Hefny oversaw a protocol signing ceremony. This agreement was between the EAA and the Egyptian Holding Company for Airports and Air Navigation (EHCAAN).

The protocol focuses on strengthening joint cooperation. It targets training, qualification, and human capital development. The aim is to enhance mutual cooperation in training fields. This includes creating specialized programs for airport employees. These programs will meet the latest ICAO Standards and Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority regulations.

Key training areas include air traffic control and airport management. They also cover aeronautical information and communications. The protocol includes annual training plans and practical field visits.

Air Cairo’s Training Transformation

Minister el-Hefny also witnessed the signing of training protocols involving Air Cairo. These were signed with both the EAA and the EgyptAir Training Academy.

This cooperation is part of the Air Cairo Transformation (ACT) project. The project is a major step forward for aviation training in Egypt. Its primary goal is to prepare highly qualified personnel. This includes engineers, flight dispatchers, and cabin crew. Specialized training programs will be run with recognized national and international institutions.

International Alliance for Maintenance Training

A strategic cooperation agreement was signed between SAVIS Aviation Services and the Italian FLYON Aero Academy. SAVIS is the EAA’s national training partner. FLYON Aero Academy is a leading European institution for aircraft maintenance training.

The agreement is designed to enhance the quality of technical training. It specifically targets aircraft maintenance. This partnership will establish EASA Part-147 certified training centers in Cairo. This marks a key step in building a new international hub of excellence.

This new alliance provides a critical opportunity. It allows Egyptian technicians to receive globally recognized certification. EASA Part-147 approval is essential for working with many global airlines.
