New Partnership Expands Pilot Training Across Continents

Airways Aviation has signed a partnership agreement with Vietjet Aviation Academy (VJAA) to deliver new pilot training programmes in Europe.

The agreement was signed in Helsinki during the official visit of Vietnam’s Party General Secretary Tô Lâm. Senior representatives from both governments, as well as business leaders from Vietnam and Finland, attended the signing, which took place during the Vietnam–Finland Business Roundtable. The event aimed to strengthen bilateral cooperation in innovation, education, and sustainable economic development. The visit also marked the first of its kind to Finland in more than 50 years of diplomatic relations between the two nations.

Under the partnership, Airways Aviation and Vietjet Aviation Academy will collaborate on a range of training initiatives, including Multi-Crew Pilot Licence (MPL) and Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) programmes. These courses will meet the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV).

The collaboration will create new training opportunities for aspiring pilots and strengthen cooperation between Asia and Europe’s aviation education sectors. The specialized courses are designed to help train a new generation of pilots to support Vietjet’s growing international operations and to meet global demand for qualified flight crew.

The agreement highlights ongoing efforts to enhance aviation training infrastructure and promote global partnerships within the industry. It also reflects an emphasis on harmonizing international training standards to support safer, more efficient pilot development pathways across regions.
