Cavite, Philippines – Cebu headquartered flight school Airworks Aviation Company, Inc. marked a key milestone in its mission to prepare aspiring aviation professionals with the turnover ceremony of decommissioned turbine engines by the Philippine Air Force (PAF) at Danilo Atienza Airbase. This collaboration underscores the importance of investing in education and human capital for the country’s aviation sector.

• The turnover of turbine engines provides valuable training resources for Airworks Aviation students, enabling hands-on experience essential for airline readiness.
• The initiative reflects a growing focus on public-private partnerships (PPPs) in educational development, an area often overshadowed by large infrastructure projects.
• Key PAF officials involved include Lt. Gen. Stephen Parreño, Brig. Gen. Juliano Llarenas, Col. Rover Sobrino, and Ms. Trina Estrada, who facilitated the resource-sharing partnership.
• Airworks Aviation President Vincent Charles Ong emphasized the transformational impact of such partnerships on the next generation of aviation professionals.

Statements

• “This low-key partnership with the government is just a drop in the bucket, but the impact this will have on the students who will get to train in these engines will be transformational,” said Vincent Charles Ong, President of Airworks Aviation Company.
