University of Kyrenia defines needs of the world aviation industry

Offering education mainly on aviation and maritime, which have an important place in the transportation and shipping industry at the present day, the University of Kyrenia draws attention to the rapidly growing needs of the aviation sector.

According to the press info released by the Directorate of Press and Public Relations Office of the University of Kyrenia, considering the data provided by two major aircraft manufacturers, the Boeing and Airbus companies, Prof. Dr. Ilkay Salihoğlu, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of University of Kyrenia, delivered information on the rapidly increasing needs of the civil aviation sector, which is one of the fastest growing industries of the world.

Touching upon the importance of professionally training qualified personnel to respond the emerging needs of civil aviation sector, Professor Salihoğlu also drew attention to the significant role of major aircraft manufacturers in contributing to the sector by producing highly efficient aircrafts consistent with the implementation of the latest cutting-edge technology.

Touching upon the significance of the growing need for qualified personnel to meet the ever growing infrastructure and technical requirements of the rapidly developing aviation industry, Prof. Dr. Salihoğlu highlighted the crucial role of quality education and training in cultivating highly qualified staff that are capable to address the emerging needs of the sector.

“Civil aviation sector is one of the world's fastest growing industries and consequently the need for qualified personnel is rapidly increasing worldwide. What's more, the current capacity of civil aviation training institutions for training qualified personnel fails to satisfy the rapidly emerging needs of this fastest growing sector. It takes time to train qualified personnel. However, without having enough qualified manpower, aircrafts ordered from aircraft manufacturers are manufactured and delivered to customers for transportation services within a short time. Besides, having insufficient qualified manpower, the aircraft manufacturers often face with technical issues in manufacturing and delivering ordered aircrafts to the customers in time. This is a significant indicator to highlight the increasing importance and value as well the competitive value of qualified personnel trained by aviation training institutions for aviation market. The need for qualified personnel will continue to increase very rapidly within the next 15 years and will be expressed in hundreds of thousands…” he noted.
