BACKGROUND
Launched in 2010, the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme:
benefits from more than 25 years of experience and expertise from its predecessor programme, the TRAINAIR Programme, in the fields of training development and sharing, capacity building, as well as instructional delivery;
provides valuable ICAO support to its Member States and the aviation industry through the implementation of high-quality standards in civil aviation training and capacity-building; and
assists in implementing sustainable human resources development strategies, consistent with ICAO Assembly Resolution A38-12, Appendix D, Qualified and Competent Aviation Personnel.

TRAINAIR PLUS is a cooperative network of training organizations and industry partners working together to develop and deliver ICAO-harmonized training packages. These packages include:
STP – Standardized Training Package
ITP – ICAO Training Package
CTP – Compliant Training Package
PTP – Partner Training Package
WHY TRAINAIR PLUS?
The mission of the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme is to:
- improve safety and efficiency of air transport; and
- establish, maintain, and monitor high standards of training and competency of aviation personnel on a worldwide basis and in a cost-effective manner.

The list of potential candidates includes but is not limited to:
training arms of civil aviation authorities, airlines, airports, and maintenance organizations;

HOW DOES TRAINAIR PLUS ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION?
The TRAINAIR PLUS Programme uses two tools:
