HKIAA Receives ICAO TPP Outstanding Performance Award in AVSEC Training 

 

The Hong Kong International Aviation Academy (HKIAA), a Platinum member / Training Centre of Excellence in the ICAO TRAINAIR PLUS Programme (TPP), was honoured with the ICAO TPP Outstanding Performance Award in AVSEC Training during the Global Implementation Support Symposium (GISS) 2024 in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on 1 May 2024. 

 

The award recognises the outstanding performance of HKIAA and our partner Aviation Security Company Limited (AVSECO) for the provision of aviation security (AVSEC) training in the Asia Pacific region since 2004.  

 

The accolade reaffirms HKIAA’s commitment to be a world-class civil aviation training hub, providing internationally recognised and accredited training programmes to AVSEC practitioners and aviation professionals in Hong Kong and beyond. 

 

The award was presented to HKIAA’s Ada Tse, Director Business Development & Marketing, during the event by Hector Porcella Dumas, Director General of Civil Aviation, Dominican Republic, Salvatore Sciacchitano, President of ICAO Council, Juan Carlos Salazar, Secretary General of ICAO, and Jorge Vargas, Director of the Capacity Development and Implementation Bureau, ICAO. 

 

The GISS 2024 was preceded by the TRAINAIR PLUS Steering Committee meeting (TPSC/15) on 29 April 2024. HKIAA’s participation in the steering committee meeting comes after being elected to membership last October by ICAO TPP members from around the world. As part of the steering committee, HKIAA has the opportunity to give advice and contribute to the development and improvement of the TPP, impacting the advancement of capacity building in the global aviation industry.
