  Aerospace for All
  Asian Aviation Centre recently started a unique program called "Aerospace for All" program to facilitate those who are interested in aviation. The launching event was felicitated by Dr. Peter Barrington, Associate Dean, Faculty of Engineering/Field Leader, Aerospace Engineering at Kingston University. The event was held at the largest hangar complex of the Asian Aviation Centre at Colombo Airport, Ratmalana.
  The program will be conducted in English for three months on the subjects related to aviation industry, satellites, space vehicles and space travel, rockets, helicopters, aircraft and hovercraft. Students who have completed their O/Ls and A/Ls are eligible for this program and on their completion of the course they will become familiar with the latest trend and the opportunities around, in the aviation industry.
