"The aviation industry makes an important contribution to Vietnam's economy but as the economy continues to grow, it will have an added impact on airports, air traffic control, infrastructure and the highly specialised aviation labour force," Dr Nguyen Thu Hai Hang, President of VAA, said.
"This collaboration will create more opportunities for students to access the regional labour market."
Wong Siew Kit, Chairman of D'viaton Group said, "This cooperation with VAA in aviation technical training and education, through our subsidiary company D'viation Solutions, is a favourable starting point to strengthen the bilateral relationship.
"We are committed to working together to further develop the quality of graduates in the aviation industry, not only in Vietnam but also [in] the regional market."
The two sides will develop a joint training programme for future junior instructors to meet EASA standards, develop and execute the Technical English Language Competency Training programme, work together towards improving the standards of current workshops, training aids and aircraft system simulators and share training experiences.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Vietnam has the third-fastest growing international aviation passenger numbers in the world, expected to touch 63 million by 2020.
Aviation contributes US$6 billion annually to the country's GDP and offers over 230,000 jobs.
