Chinese have passed thesis tests and received master degrees

Safety Management Master Program." The students started in August
2004, majoring in aviation worthiness and aviation maintenance.
Airbus, the world's leading aircraft manufacturer, provided
financial and technical support to the program.

departments of Chinese airlines and the General Administration of
the Civil Aviation of China, attended the courses jointly run by
the Civil Aviation University of China and two French aviation
universities. The program is aimed at enabling China's civil
aviation education to reach international levels.

China civil aviation."
"In China, we not only sell aircraft, but also provide the best
customer services. We have forged a close partnership with the
Chinese government and airlines," Barron said.
