Boeing, in partnership with 43 Air School, will offer a comprehensive pilot training programme in Africa. Boeing and 43 Air School (Pty) Ltd signed an agreement indicating their shared commitment to maintain and enhance aviation safety in Africa and around the world.

 

Participants of the pilot training programme will receive high-quality training at the “ab initio," or basic, level delivered by a world-class, experienced flight school and at the commercial jet level, delivered by Boeing. The programme will consist of three phases, enabling the participant with no flying experience to graduate with full competence and accreditation. Programme graduates will be qualified as a Boeing Next-Generation 737 First Officer, ready to assume the right seat in the flight deck.

 

Boeing Flight Services Chief Customer Officer, Roei Ganzarski, was quoted in eTurbo News as having said that over the next 20 years there is a global need for hundreds of thousands of new airline pilots and it is through partnerships like this that they are working to expand the pool of pilots from which airlines can select.
