Civil Aviation: After 7 Months in Toulouse, Ten OFNAC Executives Return with Advanced Skills

Ten new executives from the National Civil Aviation Office (OFNAC) returned to Port-au-Prince this Thursday, April 2, 2026, after seven months of training at the National Civil Aviation School (ENAC) in Toulouse. Welcomed by the Minister of TPTC, Joseph Almathe Pierre Louis, and the Director General of OFNAC, Hantz Célestin, these technicians will strengthen the specialized workforce in the sector.

Trained between September 2025 and March 2026, the recipients mastered essential disciplines: air traffic control and aeronautical information management. This advanced training is part of the CATCOP project, funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), which supports the modernization of infrastructure at Toussaint Louverture International Airport.

Beyond human training, this program includes the construction of a new control tower and a building dedicated to air navigation. The stated objective is to bring Haiti up to international safety standards.

During the ceremony, Minister Pierre Louis and Mr. Célestin praised the “exemplary determination” of the young experts. The government of Alix Didier Fils-Aimé sees this integration as a lever to strengthen the safety of Haitian airspace and the credibility of OFNAC.

These ten new agents will bolster a team already committed to the growth of the national air sector.
