THE first batch of graduates of the inaugural Aeronautical Information Service Comprehensive Course (AISCC) was welcomed by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) during a ceremony held on Friday, January 30 at the Civil Aviation Training Center (CATC) in Pasay City.
According to CAAP spokesman Eric Apolonio, a total of 33 trainees successfully completed the intensive four-month training program, where they were equipped with the essential knowledge, skills and professional attitude necessary to ensure the accurate and timely flow of aeronautical data and aeronautical information.
He said the course is designed to support the safety, regularity and efficiency of the global air traffic management (ATM) system, in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards.
Launched in September 2025, the AISCC is aligned with the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. and Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez to strengthen the country’s aviation sector by investing in human capital and developing globally competitive aviation professionals, said Apolonio.
Meantime, CAAP Deputy Director General for Operations Retired Lt. Gen. Rozzano Briguez, in his closing remarks, reminded the members of Batch S1NANGUNA that the aviation industry demands the highest level of professionalism and commitment to excellence.
“Excellence is not a choice, it is a must. It should be part of our DNA. It should be part of life. Tandaan po natin iyan,” Briguez said.
