The Namibia Airports Company (NAC) has launched its first Basic Aviation Security Training Course following its certification as an Aviation Security Training Organisation (ASTO). This development strengthens Namibia’s capacity to deliver internationally recognized aviation security training.
The course, which began on 1 July 2026, is designed to meet International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. It covers key areas such as access control, passenger screening, and cargo security. The training is aimed at NAC staff and other aviation personnel in the region.
NAC’s ASTO certification was granted by the Namibia Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) after a rigorous audit process. The certification allows NAC to offer accredited training programs that comply with global aviation security requirements.
This initiative is part of NAC’s broader strategy to enhance safety and security at Namibian airports. The company plans to expand its training portfolio to include advanced courses for aviation security managers and instructors.
