(Sept. 5) – ENAV has become the official training provider for Libya in a 1 million euros contract deal to train 140 air traffic controllers. After a collaboration between the two countries, which began in 2011, to reopen the Libyan airspace following the political events that have crippled the north African state, Libya turned to ENAV to perfect the training of its controllers. With the commercial agreement that has recently been signed, 140 Libyan controllers, will follow two week courses on a roster basis at the ENAV Academy in Forlì between October and December. “In a historical period in which the world trend favours the conservation of resources and activities we are proud to face the international market with such a competitive commercial offer”, said Massimo Garbini, ENAV CEO. “Training, in particular, represents for us a fundamental means of selling our specialized consultancy in sectors and services for which ENAV is a world leader. In 2011 alone, we received 190 guests from several countries in Forlì, providing a total of 30,000 hours training. The results we are obtaining with our business activities, that in addition to training include aeronautical, flight inspection and specialized engineering consultancy, not only open the doors for Italian products and services on important foreign markets, but also create value without burdening the country’s economy”.
