SriLankan Aviation College gains Nepal Civil Aviation Authority accreditation

SriLankan Aviation College receives accreditation from Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal

SriLankan Aviation College, a regional leader in aviation training, achieved a significant milestone by receiving accreditation from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal for Type Training. 

This accreditation designates SriLankan Aviation College as the only NCAR Part-147 (Nepalese Civil Airworthiness Requirements for Maintenance Training Organisations) approved organisation 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 Organisation Exposition, addressing the gap of EASA-approved training organisations 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.

SriLankan Aviation College Deputy General Manager Kalinga Hiranya 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 recognised in 27 European countries as well as approvals from the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL), Maldives Civil Aviation Authority (MCAA) and 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.

SriLankan Aviation College is poised to become the hub of high-quality professional aviation training in the region, offering a comprehensive range of structured programmes and courses for all aviation personnel.
