NGO Aviassist has been dedicated to promoting and strengthening African aviation safety since 1995. It supports safety monitoring and safety promotion from private air authorities, airlines, airports, ground handlers, and many other aircraft. And now it has started the first African physical safety promotion center.
Aviassist Safety Promotion Center (ASPC) -RWANDA is a hub to learn, study, and experience aviation safety. For the current and next -generation African aviation experts.
“Training, education, and safety communication is an important factor in promoting safety,” explained: Harriet Nakaazue, a member of the Avirist Board of Directors.
ASPC-RWANDA was inspired by Tokyo and Seattle. It combines lessons from important aviation (close) accidents and the history of aviation safety. The center is in cooperation with exhibits that provide the background of the lessons learned from the tragedy of aviation in the past.
ASPC-RWANDA tours for experts are available at the time of booking. Visitors are actively encouraged to share the viewpoint of display safety for further inspiration for other visitors in the future.
ASPC-RWANDA finds a house at Rwanda University. “The Rwanda's aeronautical industry is growing rapidly,” explained Dr. Ignas Gatare, a science and technology university of Rwanda. “Our universities are eager to support their growth on courses such as the expected aerospace engineering course.
“ASPC-RWANDA has the ambition of becoming an economic economy based on knowledge, and has the opportunity to play a leading role beyond simply compliance with the aeronautical boundaries.”
Aviacist director Tomcock has added: “We are already providing services to veteran experts in the African aviation industry, but we are now excited to work with aviation students and young people who are interested in aviation careers. Not only universities and vocational training institutions, but also associations such as Africa's young avatar clubs, which run an outreach program to secondary schools.
Next to education, ASPC-RWANDA also conducts research. At present, most data used in the African Aviation Industry, which provides decisions on risk management, comes from other continents. North America, Asia, Europe.
Christopher McGregor, chairman of the Avijist Committee, states: This can have a positive effect on safety risk management throughout the continent and develop it. Universities play an important role in building reliable data eco systems.
“That's why we are very pleased that the first aviacist safety promotion center is housed in the University of Rwanda. The decision is to set up procedures, policy decisions, budgeting, and investment decisions. So you can request related information. “
“There is a unique opportunity to support the construction of African universities and institutions that can provide next-generation safety researchers,” Dusingize pointed out, AlAIN, ASPC-RWANDA trainee Alain.
“The institution I am adjusting here in Rwanda will support the abilities of African universities and conduct safety research in a very expensive way.”
Aviaist's director Tom Kok states: We must cooperate as the industry. Our ASPC helps emphasize the importance of safety. It helps to explain where we were, where we were, and why we should not be satisfied with pursuing safety. “
The African aviation industry is excited about the official opening of the center in September 2025. The body was added as follows. With the opening, the continent allows unique opportunities to strengthen safety culture. “
