ENAIRE’s CEO, Enrique Maurer, receives ICAO’s recognition in Abu Dhabi for the entity’s outstanding work in aviation training

“The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is pleased to express its sincere gratitude for ENAIRE’s outstanding contribution to the ICAO Training Scholarship Programme. Its support has been essential in advancing ICAO’s capacity-building objectives and promoting the development of skilled aviation professionals worldwide”, says ICAO.

"This recognition from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) of ENAIRE's specialised training initiatives, as well as its international scholarship programme, highlights the valuable work carried out by many individuals, organisations, and universities. The Professional Master’s in Air Navigation Services Management is offered in collaboration with ICAO through TRAINAIR Plus and its international edition. This recognition from ICAO will provide a new boost to this cooperation and ENAIRE's vision within the framework of training future air navigation managers”, says ENAIRE’s CEO, Enrique Maurer.

ENAIRE, together with the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), and in collaboration with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) through the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme, is offering a specialised and unique training programme in air navigation services management, backed by its experience and solid knowledge of the sector.

ENAIRE's Master's Degree in Air Navigation Services Management is certified by the ICAO's TRAINAIR PLUS programme. 

The aim of the Master’s is to train future leaders in air navigation, equipping students with specialised technical, operational and management skills to gain a comprehensive understanding of air navigation services and the challenges facing the sector.  

The Master's programme is aimed at management by combining knowledge and actual case studies, with a focus on strategy and the development of the managerial and decision-making skills needed to solve problems in a complex and constantly changing sector.  

This degree is mainly intended for professionals from ENAIRE, international service providers and other organisations in the sector: airlines, general aviation, professional associations and institutions, airport managers, regulators and supervisors, military authorities, weather service providers, as well as the technology industry, consultants and university graduates interested in the world of aviation. The characteristics of the participants will be conducive to business networking and, as the various professionals share their experiences, the students will gain a detailed picture of air navigation.  

Internal Specialist Degrees

Furthermore, since 2024, ENAIRE, in collaboration with ICAO, has offered the internal degree of ‘Specialist in Fundamentals and Planning of Air Navigation Services’, available exclusively in English and online. Additionally, another specialist course in Advanced Management of Corporate Services in Air Navigation will begin in May 2025.

Upon completion of these internal ENAIRE courses, candidates will obtain a broad strategic and management overview that will let them understand the services and challenges involved in managing air navigation.

The programmes are intended for professionals in the aeronautical sector: service providers, airlines, airport managers, regulators, military authorities, weather service providers, as well as the technology industry, consultants and other professionals interested in the sector. 

The faculty is made up of a team of highly qualified professionals from ENAIRE, the UPM and UAM, and the field of aviation.
