The Incheon Airport Aviation Training Center was the first among airports worldwide to be designated as an international aviation expert training institution in 2011. Since then, it has maintained its ICAO international training institution certification by passing ICAO’s rigorous re-certification review every three years.

This year, from September 15 to 17, a field audit was conducted by Herve Toulonge, ICAO Certification Evaluator, covering 247 items across 14 areas, including education quality management, establishment of training and operational procedures, and curriculum development.

As a result of the audit, the Center received excellent evaluations across all aspects, including its education programs, facility management, and operational procedures, and it achieved flawless re-certification with no findings in any of the audited categories. The center will maintain its ICAO accreditation until December 2029.

With this re-certification, Incheon Airport plans to further strengthen its cooperation with ICAO in the field of aviation education by developing collaborative training programs, expanding the adoption of ICAO-accredited courses, and cultivating global experts.

Shin Gakyun, Head of the Management Division at Incheon International Airport Corporation, said, "This achievement once again affirms the global recognition of the training center's education quality and its operational capabilities. We will further enhance educational cooperation with major overseas institutions and expand aviation education support projects for developing countries, thereby continually strengthening Incheon Airport’s global leadership and international influence."
