Due to a severe shortage of skilled technicians and a low throughput from training<br />
institutions there are definite opportunities in training systems to upgrade the skills’ pool.<br />
There is also demand for commercial and general aviation solutions from the United<br />
States in the following fields:<br />
• Engine Management Systems;<br />
• Precision Tooling;<br />
• Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Certification; and<br />
• Flight Training Systems<br />
The growth of commercial and general aviation in <strong>South</strong>ern <strong>Africa</strong> is slowing down. High<br />
operating costs and a sluggish economy are taking their toll on discount airliners and<br />
general aviation. The biggest growth can be expected in other sub-Saharan <strong>Africa</strong>n<br />
states as these ramp-up up their capacity to meet consistent growth in passenger travel<br />
and air freight.<br />
