VOLATUS AEROSPACE AND ARCO WORLDWIDE SERVICES ESTABLISH LANDMARK PARTNERSHIP TO DELIVER DRONE TRAINING IN NIGERIA

Volatus Aerospace Inc. has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ARCO Worldwide Services Ltd. (AWS), a subsidiary of ARCO Group PLC, to collaborate on the delivery of professional drone training programs in Nigeria through ARCO Aviation Academy (AAA).

Under the agreement, Volatus Aerospace will provide its Volatus Academy curriculum, training materials and instructor programs for local delivery by ARCO Aviation Academy under a white-label and co-branded framework. The collaboration aims to align Nigeria's emerging drone pilot training programs with international standards, ICAO and SORA, while ensuring full compliance with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

AAA, an NCAA-approved aviation organization, currently offers foundational RPAS courses and seeks to expand into advanced and specialized training including thermography, lidar (light detection and ranging) and BVLOS operations for industry, defence, public safety and first responders.

"This collaboration marks an important milestone in our mission to expand safe, professional drone operations worldwide," said Glen Lynch, chief executive officer of Volatus Aerospace. "By partnering with ARCO Aviation Academy, we're helping to accelerate local work force development and strengthen Nigeria's position as a leader in the West African drone industry."

Okosubide Mozimo, managing director of ARCO Worldwide Services, added: "This partnership brings globally recognized drone training programs to Nigeria for the first time. Together with Volatus, we will empower a new generation of certified drone professionals and enhance safety, compliance and innovation across the sector."

The agreement establishes a three-year framework for co-operation that includes localized curriculum delivery, instructor training and continuing quality assurance. Initial programs are expected to begin rolling out in Q4 2025.
