The Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority (CCAA) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Luxembourg-based Vallair Group to collaborate on aeronautical training, aircraft maintenance, aircraft disassembly, and workforce development. The agreement was formalized at the Farnborough Airshow 2024.

The partnership aims to transfer Vallair's expertise in aircraft maintenance to Cameroon and assist in developing a comprehensive ecosystem for aircraft and engine tear-down and recycling. This includes training a specialized workforce.

“The CCAA operates several domestic airports which provide a fertile ground for establishing economically beneficial and sustainable aircraft maintenance and disassembly operations,” said CCAA Director General Paule Avomo Assoumou epse Koki. “This partnership is an important opportunity to jointly study and implement a range of skills development activities.”
