HISTORY

AVIAT originated from the National Air Research Foundation, is a privately-owned NGO mandated for Aviation Development in Ghana.
NARF in Its emerging development state, contacted the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) in 2007forassistance to undertake its mandate. Its first objective, is to establish a university of aeronautics in Ghana. AIAA categorically stated, they would not have direct involvement or fund your projects. However, they pledgetheircommitment to share brainstorming ideas for ourassertions, theories and aims.
In 2008, NARFstrategically decided to set-up a membership drive in Ghana schools to support its objective. This initiativesuffered a setback and stalled due todirectives from the ministry of education.
In 2012, we proposed toembryriddle aeronautical university to extend their wings to Ghana in academic partnership. This initiative was assigned to the Europe and Africa division of the world-wide campus, but failed to materialize.
In 2013, weindividually estimated, budgeted and executedourown initiative. We had the initial pre-certification meeting with the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) later in 2013.After a series of certification programs, we were awarded AMTO certification in 2022.
