AACM said, “In order to allow more Macao aviation security inspectors and practitioners to receive high quality and internationally recognized training events, our Authority has discussed with the ICAO CASP-AP Programme Coordinator to conduct courses in Macao. We have eventually been able to organize one this August.”
