CAAC, Rolls-Royce extend training

The Civil Aviation Administration of China and Rolls-Royce Plc signed an agreement on Monday to extend a training program for senior Chinese aviation managers for another 10 years.

The United Kingdom-based engine manufacturer provides annual four-week courses overseas for senior executives from the Chinese civil aviation industry. There is also a four-month course in Beijing every year.

"I think we will continue extending this program every 10 years to meet the huge human resources demands of civil aviation in China," said Li Jiaxiang, head of the CAAC.
