The Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority (CCAA) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Luxembourg-based Vallair Group to cooperate on aeronautical training, aircraft maintenance, aircraft disassembly, and workforce development.
The African country contracted with Vallair to transfer its know-how in aircraft maintenance and to help it develop a comprehensive aircraft and engine tear-down and recycling ecosystem, including training a specialized workforce.
“The CCAA operates several domestic airports which provide a fertile ground for establishing economically beneficial and sustainable aircraft maintenance and disassembly operations,” said CCAA director general Paule Avomo Assoumou epse Koki. “This partnership is an important opportunity to jointly study and implement a range of skills development activities.”
“CCAA has a world-class training facility for the development of skills, and it is accredited by ICAO, ACI and IATA,” added Vallair Group president Grégoire Lebigot. “We have come together to combine Vallair’s worldwide reputation for aircraft maintenance and disassembly that maximizes the life and value of aircraft, engines, and components. Together we will impart knowledge and embark upon a far-reaching and innovative program that will also see Vallair’s expertise being replicated in Cameroon.”
