On 15 January 2026, the Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (VATM), in collaboration with Vietnam Aviation Academy (VAA), held the “Wings of Dreams” Scholarship Award Ceremony to recognize 18 outstanding students for their academic achievements.
The future of Vietnam’s aviation industry relies heavily on the skills, dedication, and training of its upcoming workforce. The scholarship program is a meaningful initiative that encourages academic excellence while demonstrating VATM’s commitment to education and the development of high-quality human resources for Vietnam’s aviation industry.
The ceremony was attended by Mr. Nguyen Manh Kien, Deputy General Director of VATM, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Hoai An, President of VAA, together with representatives from both organizations and the scholarship recipients.
These merit-based scholarships do more than just ease financial burdens; they act as a powerful incentive for academic excellence. By investing in top-performing students, the program helps build advanced capabilities in essential areas like air traffic management, flight operations, and aeronautical engineering. In his address, Mr. Nguyen Manh Kien emphasized that well-trained professionals are the true backbone of safe and sustainable national airspace management. For VATM, funding these educational milestones is a meaningful, long-term investment in the industry’s future.
Expressing his gratitude, Associate Professor Dr. Tran Hoai An thanked VATM for their continuous support. He noted that integrating real-world corporate experience into the university journey helps align current curricula with actual operational standards. As technology in the aviation sector evolves rapidly, this partnership ensures that graduates enter the workforce fully prepared to manage complex air traffic infrastructures safely and efficiently.
This ceremony is a direct result of a comprehensive cooperation agreement signed between VATM and VAA. Looking ahead, both organizations plan to deepen their collaboration across three main pillars: professional training, direct recruitment opportunities, and collaborative scientific research. By connecting classroom theory with practical industry applications, both corporations continue to strengthen the standards and regional competitiveness of Vietnam’s civil aviation field.
