Speaking after the signing, Maria Rueda, Managing Director at CAAi, commented:
“We are very pleased to collaborate with the prestigious University of Surrey and support postgraduate education in civil aviation and aerospace.

By working with the University of Surrey, we’re committed to developing education programmes that best equip aviation professionals with the skills and insight they will need to help the future of flight flourish.”
Professor Iis Tussyadiyah, Head of School of Hospitality, Tourism, Transport and Events at the University of Surrey, added:
”We welcome the mutual understanding with CAAi, which formalises and strengthens the strategic relations with aviation regulators. It is a unique opportunity to collaborate in the provision of aviation education programmes and research projects, and to address the future challenges of the industry on a national and a global scale.”
