Founding of French Civil Aviation University

The French Civil Aviation University, known as ENAC, is a higher education institution in France that trains engineers, air traffic controllers and airline pilots, as well as other aviation professionals. It is a public body under the supervision of the ministry responsible for transport, and it has its main campus in Toulouse, with other sites elsewhere in France. It was created in the post-war period to train the civil aviation personnel that the country needed, and it grew into one of the main aviation schools in Europe. It has trained many foreign students and works with industry partners such as Airbus, which is also based in Toulouse.
