AeroVecto Aviation Services (AVAS) and the Modern College of Business and Science (MCBS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on research, education and industry engagement related to Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in Oman.
The MoU was signed in the presence of the Civil Aviation Authority, underscoring the strategic importance of this collaboration.
The agreement focuses on applied research and feasibility studies examining how AAM solutions could be integrated into Oman’s existing transportation systems. It also supports policy and regulatory discussions where research findings highlight practical considerations or gaps, in line with national development priorities and Oman Vision 2040.
“AeroVecto is committed to bringing practical AAM solutions to market while nurturing local talent. Working with MCBS allows us to deepen research into AAM deployment within the context of Oman. Together we combine industry experience with fresh academic ideas, giving students the opportunity to contribute to projects with clear industry relevance.”
“This partnership strengthens MCBS’s focus on applied research and student engagement. As an institution recognized in Times Higher Education and QS international rankings, and as we approach 30 years of educational excellence, collaborations such as this reflect our continued commitment to quality education, research relevance, and future-focused learning. It provides students with practical research experience and exposure to an emerging sector closely linked to Oman’s economic development,” Dr. Moosa Al Kindi, Dean – Modern College of Business & Science.
Under the MoU, AVAS and MCBS will undertake joint research projects and provide opportunities for MCBS students to gain industry exposure through internships and placements at AeroVecto. The agreement also supports the development and commercialization of selected AAM-related projects emerging from MCBS’s Innovation Hub.
The collaboration marks a step toward building local knowledge and expertise in advanced air mobility, bringing together academic research and industry practice to support informed decision-making and long-term sector development in Oman.
