Mongolia and Thailand Collaborate on Aviation Education and Training

Director of the Civil Aviation Authority and Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Civil Aviation Training Center (CATC) of the Kingdom of Thailand, Pukkanut Makchouy, signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Bangkok.

The Memorandum of Understanding facilitates the training of personnel for projects and programs planned to be implemented in Mongolia in the field of air navigation, including the “New Ulaanbaatar Regional Air Traffic Control Center,” “Second Sainshand Regional Air Traffic Control Center,” “Remote Air Traffic Control Center,” and “Free Airspace-FRA,” specifically, for the training of pilots, air traffic controllers, aerodromes, air navigation, and aviation security services specialists. The Memorandum also lays the foundation for organizing short, medium, and long-term training to improve the skills of current employees at the CATC and in Mongolia, as well as for training and capacity-building of human resources in the civil aviation sector.

Particularly, the two parties agreed to involve 15 students in the bachelor's level program in civil aviation, jointly conduct initial and refresher courses for air traffic controllers, and provide aviation English language training to Mongolian students on preferential terms in the 2025-2026 academic year.

The Civil Aviation Training Center of the Kingdom of Thailand is a leading training institution in the Asia-Pacific region that implements the International Civil Aviation Organization's “TrainAir Plus” training program.
