The agreement, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by LCAA director Julius D Dennis, Jr, and Brussels Airlines country manager Marjolein J Six, will provide crucial training to six approach controllers and three aerodrome controllers.
The training programme, scheduled to commence in Accra, Ghana, will last one month for approach controllers and three months for aerodrome controllers. This initiative directly addresses critical training gaps identified in the 2022 International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) audit findings, aligning with the LCAA's strategic focus on human resource development within the aviation sector.
“This partnership marks a significant milestone in our commitment to enhancing aviation safety and operational efficiency in Liberia,” said Dennis. “By investing in the training of our air traffic control personnel, we are not only improving safety standards but also bolstering the overall capacity of the Liberian aviation sector.”
The Liberia Civil Aviation Authority (LCAA) is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing all aspects of civil aviation within Liberia.
