The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), represented by Licensing Department, received a delegation from the Kingdom of Bahrain Civil Aviation Affairs. The delegation headed by Eng. Adel Al Sabah, Chief Aviation Permits and licensing, was received by Captain Khalid Humaid Al Ali, Director of Licensing at GCAA, along with several representations from aeromedical section and e-licensing team. The visit took place in General Civil Aviation Authority’s regional office in Dubai recently. The visit comes in line with GCAA and Bahraini Civil Aviation Affairs’ efforts exchange experience and expertise about license, and specifically in the e-licensing service launched by GCAA last months. “E-licensing service reflects the framework of the UAE Government aiming at developing electronic services across all governmental sectors,” expressed Captain Al Ali, Director of Licensing at General Civil Aviation Authority. “Implementing e-licensing would save a lot of time for pilots, engineers and others working in the aviation sector and we are glad to share our experience with other states in the GCC region.” Al Ali added. An official visit to Alpha Aviation Academy took place where both delegates were received by the Academy Quality Manager and Head of Training. A prolonged brief and representation of the Academy activities have been discussed with a focus on the Multi-Crew Pilot License (MPL) Programme as one of the promising programs in the aviation sector. GCAA’s Licensing department issued during last month alone 1,163 license varied between Cabin Crew, Air Traffic Controller, and aeromedical licensing. From gulftoday
