SriLankan Aviation College gains Nepal Civil Aviation Authority accreditation
SriLankan Aviation College, a regional leader in aviation training, has received accreditation from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal for Type Training.
According to SriLankan Airlines, this accreditation designates SriLankan Aviation College as the only NCAR Part-147 (Nepalese Civil Airworthiness Requirements for Maintenance Training Organizations) approved organization in Nepal, making it a key player in aviation training in the country.
The approval paves the way for Himalaya Airlines and other regional carriers to collaborate with SriLankan Aviation College and have its facility listed in the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Maintenance Training Organization Exposition (MTOE), addressing the gap of EASA-approved training organizations in Nepal.
This collaboration will enable SriLankan Aviation College to offer both theoretical and practical type training in Nepal, adhering to international training standards, and contribute to enhancing aviation skills and competencies in the country.
Kalinga Hiranya, Deputy General Manager of SriLankan Aviation College, stated, “With the achievement of the Nepalese Civil Aviation Authority approval, SriLankan Aviation College, the training arm of the national carrier SriLankan Airlines, has secured its 35th international accreditation, expanding its global reach. This is a significant accomplishment for both the training arm and the airline, allowing us to offer our world-class training portfolio to a broader audience in the region.”
The approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal adds to the extensive list of accreditations that SriLankan Aviation College has scored over the years. This includes certifications from the EASA, which is recognized in 27 European countries, as well as approvals from the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL), the Maldives Civil Aviation Authority (MCAA) and the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA). The college’s achievement underscores its commitment to providing top-tier training services while catering to students from both domestic and international regions.
