Boeing helps train African pilots

Boeing has teamed up with Port Alfred-based 43 Air School to offer “right off the street” training to African pilots. Upon completion of training, graduates will have qualified for a private pilot licence. “Over the next 20 years there is a global need for hundreds of thousands of new airline pilots. “Through partnerships like this we’re working to expand the pool of pilots from which airlines can select,” says Roei Ganzarski, chief customer officer, Boeing Flight Services.
