As part of its route and fleet expansion strategies, Dana Air has recruited and trained more eminently qualified Nigerian Pilots, Engineers and Flight Dispatchers.
Speaking on the recruitment drive, the Chief Operating Officer of the airline Ememobong Etette said, ”about 9 Nigerian pilots, over 10 Engineers and Flight Dispatchers were recruited and have concluded their mandatory training already.”
“These newly-recruited Ab Initio Pilots, Flight dispatchers and Engineers have demonstrated capacity, professionalism, and sound attention to details which is a clear reflection of the training they have had and been through and we are excited about their potentials.”
“Also for some dispatchers on On-Job-Training with us, we don’t just train them but also assist them to the extent of bagging their licenses, and retain the ones who show prospect and passion for the job.”
According to Emem, the recruitment is as result of the airline’s planned expansion of flights and fleet in the coming months.
He stated that the airline would soon take delivery of more of its aircraft from maintenance abroad, adding that this would support Nigeria’s local content policy which emphasizes development of indigenous capability without compromising quality, safety and environmental standards.
“Our commitment at Dana Air is to continue to invest in capacity building, training and re-training of our flight operations staff for efficiency, safety and comfort of our guests,” he added.
