Tailor-made meteo training
Meteorology has an important impact on air navigation and so on air traffic control. That is why there is a meteorological department at Belgocontrol with more than a hundred persons who work together with the air traffic controllers and the technicians, to secure our airspace. Thanks to a long experience in the forecast, observation, modelling of the meteorological phenomena, Belgocontrol has acquired an expertise that the company wants to share and valorize.
Belgocontrol has developed a tailored training programme destined to institutes, organisations or companies that want to go deeper into some specific meteorological topics. According to your needs, we draw up a programme that will meet your expectations.
