On 19th October 2001, the delegation from Central Queensland University(CQU) Australia visited SAU, concerning a potential pilot training partnership between FlightSafety International and Shenyang Aerospace University.

The delegation were warmly welcomed by Mr. Li Haifeng, Vice-President of SAU and Mr. Richard Chen, Dean of College International Education Department. Before a formal talk initiated, the Australian delegation enjoyed a university campus tour including a visit to the practical lessons in engineer training building and a close chat with SAU international students.

The two parties are approaching to a tighter and tighter cooperation relationship with each other.
