Message 2017 ROK-FTP MAGAZINE Greetings from the Minister of MOLIT Republic of Korea had gone through tragic Korean War, which have completely demolished the nation. However, through consistent and perpetual efforts, Korea had laid the foundations for economic growth based on the road network expansion, port facilities acquisition, social infrastructure reconstruction and individual citizens’ effort. In latter 20th Century, Korea’s aerospace and aviation sector was also in its infancy, and nurturing aviation experts to develop the aviation industry was necessary. To fulfill these needs, the United Nations whom had shared and understood our mission, supported establishment of the aeronautical technology training center in Korea, and ICAO also had provided significant assistances including actual training and dispatch of training plan advisers. Kim, Hyun-mee Since then, Korea has made significant progresses in the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport aeronautics field, and we have started invitational training Minister 2

program for developing countries’ aviation industry personnel. From the very first training session, 17 years have passed. During this time of which talented personnel who will lead the aviation industry in their countries' countries were fostered, and for us, who were once the recipient of the international assistance, it was also a time of great emotion and rewarding experience to become a country to support other nations. Now, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport publishes ROK-FTP MAGAZINE for the first time this year, and has created a space for memorizing friends, instructors, and education administrators in Korea or in Africa and Latin America locally, as well as time to remember the training program. I wish we all can reminisce the time spent with each other through the magazine, and promises for another good training and time in future. 3

Message 2017 ROK-FTP MAGAZINE Editorial Message by Dr. Fang Liu It is my great honour to congratulate the Republic of Korea on its very successful Fellowship Training Programme, and to express the gratitude of ICAO and the entire international air transport community for the commitments and actions of successive Korean governments in helping our sector ensure sufficient numbers of highly-skilled air transport personnel here in ICAO’s Asia and Pacific (APAC) Region. This is a very exciting time in the history of aviation, and a just-as- exciting moment for those of us involved in assuring that a dedicated and qualified Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP) will be on hand to manage the growth of the global air transport network, well into the future. ICAO has recently updated its forecasts for three key air transport professions; namely, pilots, air traffic controllers and aircraft technicians. Our preliminary numbers have revealed that 620,000 pilots will be needed by 2036, to fly the world’s 100-seat-and-larger aircraft. But even more important than this figure is the fact that no less than 80 percent of these future aviators will be new pilots not yet flying today. A similar story is playing out with respect to the future air traffic Dr. Fang Liu controllers, maintenance personnel and other technicians needed, but the Secretary General of we should also recall that these are just a few of literally hundreds of the International Civil Aviation Organization direct and indirect aviation-related career categories being impacted by (ICAO) current air transport growth and attrition factors. 6

What this makes clear is that we will need more and Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP) initiative better skilled aviation personnel in the years to come, in 2009, and a related development took place in and not only to increase the overall numbers but also 2014 when we launched our Global Aviation Training to replace those who are retiring. (GAT) office. At the same time, we need to retain those skilled These programmes now work very closely together young people who do pursue aviation professions, to assure regional training capacity is sufficient to air and keep them sufficiently engaged in our sector transport’s future human resources development and its role. We further need to guide the balanced challenges, and that the personnel this training movement of aviation personnel between countries accredits have the skills and competencies necessary and employers within our global network, in order to manage our network in the years to come. to ensure that all States and regions are sustainably This was the key motivation behind ICAO’s organizing serviced. of our NGAP Global Summit at our Headquarters What will be needed in the years ahead to in late 2017, an event about attracting, educating, successfully and safely manage the projected training and retaining the talented personnel within international growth of air transport, and our the aviation sector. We will be taking these Summits associated human resources planning challenges, around the world in the years to come, ensuring this is fairly straightforward: we need leadership, message is appreciated by our Member States and commitment and astute collaboration. industry operators, academics, training organizations, and young people everywhere. This is true at the global, regional and State levels, and it underscores for us that the actions we take today As we continue to engage our global community to assure future training capacity and competencies in addressing these important challenges, the globally will be instrumental to how well, and how successes being achieved through the Republic of sustainably, citizens and societies will be able to Korea’s Fellowship Training Programme will play an benefit from global air transport connectivity well important part in how well we address our global into the future. and regional targets. Being more adept and responsive in addressing aviation’s training challenges was the main motivation behind the establishment of ICAO’s Next 7

Introduction 2017 ROK-FTP MAGAZINE Introduction to the ROK-FTP and Preparation for the future According to the IATA, the global aviation industry will grow at an annual rate of 4.4% by 2025. The growth rate in Asia is even higher at 6.0%. As for Korea, it will be about 6.1%. When we look at the sectors in the industry, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV0) is doing particularly well with the sector estimated to quadruple by 2025 and the businesses making use of the UAV as a part of their operation will enjoy faster growth. Technologies are making their way into airports too. Major airports around the world is now integrating the Information and Communication Technology(ICT) in their operation and service improvement and this will make future airports smarter. In order to adapt to this fast-changing aviation sector, retraining workers through education and on-the-job training programs is critical. Along with our continued focus on this issue, I am sure we will realize the ICAO’s vision of No Country Left Behind (NCLB) soon. Koo, Bon-hwan Korea is not immune to the disruptions affecting the civil aviation sector Deputy Minister for Civil Aviation now. So Korea is responding to these changes proactively by updating Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, our policies and measures in a way that puts more emphasis on Republic of Korea nurturing skilled aviation professionals. Also, Korea is considering and 8

Conversation 2017 ROK-FTP MAGAZINE Conversation with our Instructor Q. For 8 years in CATC since 2009, you must have had lots of memories running international training programs for developing countries as an instructor. You must be very proud of what KAC has accomplished. I still can clearly remember every one of participant from the courses I’ve been in and that’s how much attached I was to the training programs. I believe that the training in KCATC delivers not only the education on a technical level but also a tight bond between KAC and the participants and among the participants as well through extracurricular activities we Gwang Sik, Cho provide like industrial inspection and cultural trips. KCATC Q. What is your plan for next years? I’ll work as a head of Cambodian CATC Master Plan which will be executed for next 2 years. My mission is to build a strong groundwork for aviation education that will go on for the many years in the future, which is very rewarding and challenging. 38

Q. What does your work mean to you? For about 9 years since I started my career in KAC, Int'l training program coordinator has taken a big part not only in my job but in my life as well. I work as a mediator between the instructors and the trainees before, during and after the course. Partaking in this job means that I always think of myself as a civil diplomat who tries to consolidate the partnership between Korea and the countries which have become friends with us. Gee Suk, Hong Q. WShare your precious memories with us. KCATC Even after many years passing, former participants send me letters saying how much they miss Korea and CATC staff. I believe that we have built a solid network and a even stronger bond with the program participants. Also, when I go on a business trip to Africa, those in aviation field recognize CATC and give us an avid support regarding what we do. Those things make me very proud. For more years to come, I will be always excited to hear from you, my friend. 39

Conversation 2017 ROK-FTP MAGAZINE It was our first initiative to host airport customer service quality management course at IAAA to the foreign airport operators after we’ve developed in 2016. All 13 members that have participated the course paid full attention to every contents and made lots of questions which was driven out from their real airport operation condition. Therefore, as an instructor, I felt very impressed about the trainees’ hard Jong Hwan, Park work and their will to enhance their airport condition through this course Senior Manager contents. IAAA Moreover, as this course was originally designed to make the trainees discuss deeply with exercises and mastery test, instructor didn’t have to put all effort to provide course items by himself which proves the principle that instructor and trainees job portion is 30% : 70%. The only thing that I felt insufficient was the shortage of time because it’s almost impossible to give all information about Incheon Airport’s effort for cooperation between airport entities which led to Incheon Airport No 1. place of ASQ customer satisfaction survey within 5 days. Thank you MOLIT about having good course with nice trainees and we will try our best to enhance the quality. 40
