SEOUL -- South Korea will share advanced
aviation-related policy knowhow with developing countries as part of
its contribution to promoting safety and efficiency in global civilian
flight services, the government said Monday.
To that end, the
government kicked off a six-day policy program that runs through
Saturday and aims to pass on Seoul's experiences in flight planning
policies, airport construction and management to civil aviation
representatives from 15 countries, the Ministry of Land, Transport and
Maritime Affairs said.
South Korea ranks sixth in the world
in flight services offered and related infrastructure, and has ranked
at the top in aviation safety. This impressive record has made it a
role model for countries interested in expanding their own civil
aviation sectors.
The 15 representatives from countries such
as Cambodia, Bangladesh, Mongolia and Thailand will also visit the
country's aviation system development center and get first hand insight
into local flight support infrastructure.
The ministry said
foreign representatives will be briefed on Korean-developed aviation
safety systems currently in operation and the country's competitiveness
in building airports.
It said that inviting foreign
representatives can help improve the global aviation sector as well as
fuel personnel and technology tie-ups that can allow local companies to
make inroads into overseas markets that want to update flight policies,
build or update new airports, and receive expert consulting.
The program is the second of its kind after the first launched in 2011, the ministry said.
