A feasibility study aimed at the establishment of the African Civil Aviation Centre of Excellence in Namibia has been completed.

The feasibility report stated that growth in the aviation sector is predicted to be the fastest in Africa until 2041.

According to the study, there is sufficient evidence for the establishment of such an Africa Centre of Excellence in Namibia.

This situation presents opportunities for the next 20 years in education and training to produce 20,000 pilots, 21,000 aircraft maintenance staff, and 26,000 cabin crew staff.

Deputy Minister of Disability Affairs, Alexia Manombe-Ncube, says persons with disabilities must be strategic when choosing what to study as it will increase job opportunities.

Manombe Ncube was speaking at a workshop for organisations of people with disabilities on the Sustainable Development Goals.
