CAMEROON/Yaoundé, to host a workshop on Airdrome certification

A regional seminar from Monday 24^th to 28^th April on airdrome certification is being hosted in Yaoundé by Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority.

In partnership with Federal aviation administration experts, over 50 representatives from across the Africa aviation community are debating on ongoing certification process. The participants share experiences and discuss the challenges faced by their respective organizations.

During the opening session, CCAA Director General PAULE ASSOUMOU KOKI stressed that technical personnel who are competent to handle the challenges must be trained to achieve the certification process. “In the process of airdrome certification, it is well known that availability of expensive works and equipment, cannot solve the issue alone. It is important to train human resources” she said.

Togo with Lome International Airport is the only airport certified (2014)  among Western  and Central  African countries.
