The head of NAI, Ravshanbek Sabirov, emphasized the importance of having not only declared intentions but also real capacities and clear plans for the future. He noted that this project demonstrates that the establishment of modern aviation service and training centers is possible in Kyrgyzstan. Such initiatives contribute to attracting investments, creating jobs, training specialists, and strengthening the technological potential of the country.
During the visit, special attention was paid to plans for expanding the center's functionality. In particular, it was reported that an agreement had been reached to place a flight simulator for the Mi-171 helicopter and an interactive classroom in 2026. These measures will allow for the training and retraining of flight personnel directly on the territory of Kyrgyzstan, significantly increasing the accessibility of specialized training and reducing dependence on foreign resources.
Summarizing the visit, Ravshanbek Sabirov noted the importance of this project for the economy and the aviation industry of the country.
