The agreement promotes the exchange of information on aerospace businesses and capabilities, facilitation of industry study visits and business missions, networking opportunities, as well as mutual invitations to industry events. Emphasis was also placed upon the exchange of knowledge and expertise related to training and human resource development, to promote the continuous improvement of the aerospace talent pool.

The partnership between Transfingo and Dviation is a good example of how companies from both countries can work together to harness our synergies. We hope our members will continue to explore the many opportunities for collaboration, growth and expansion.”
