As Mozambique and Brazil cooperate in air safety, an exchange of knowledge and experiences between institutions from both countries will take place, in the areas of operational safety and management, taking into account the excellence of Brazilian civil aviation.
Last week, a team of representatives from the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC) and the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC) were in Maputo in a mission to meet with its counterpart, the Mozambican Civil Aviation Institute (IACM), in order to establish this cooperation initiative that could provide Mozambique with greater technical capacity with a view to facing the challenges related to air safety, as well as compliance with the recommendations and conventions of international organizations that regulate this matter.
