GEAA has indicated that in addition to its helicopter training programmes,  it is ready to provide military training programmes on combat and aircraft transport in cooperation with the Royal Jordanian Air force, as well as an aviation engineering programme that can also be arranged  for military needs. 

The academy has been certified by the International Air Transport Association as an "authorised training centre" for courses in aviation management and aviation safety among many other aviation-related programmes, according to the statement.
