In 2009, GCAS was established to spearhead the development of the UAE and the region's aviation industry by enhancing the competency of aviation professionals. Over the years, GCAS has collaborated with reputable international organizations to provide top-notch aviation training programs, including customized courses tailored to meet specific aviation needs.

In 2023, GCAS became a part of Etihad Aviation Training, as Abu Dhabi reinforces its position as a prominent global aviation hub. This amalgamation will create an unparalleled training organization, providing a diverse range of courses for pilots, cabin crew, airport and ground staff, as well as soft skills and leadership training.

EAT and GCAS will not only play a critical role in bolstering Abu Dhabi's aviation ecosystem but will also contribute to the global aviation industry.
