Investing in training is investing for the future
It means:
Investing in safety
Investing in the quality of the service
provided
It means:
Investing to maintain and increase the
company’s competitiveness.
To maintain and increase competitiveness we
must have the ability to provide training at the
required standard and capacity.
Training required is governed and controlled by:
Growth
Regulatory requirements
Third party training
Human Resource Development
Leakage of human resources
Forecast Average Annual Growth Rate (AAGR)
for Africa, Middle East, and Europe:
Passenger Traffic: 6%
Freight: 5.6%
Reference: IATA Passenger and Freight Forecast
Estimated new passenger and freight airplanes
deliveries during the period 2005 - 2015 due to
growth and fleet renewal in Africa, Middle East,
and Europe:
4100 Airplanes
As an example this translates to an estimated
initial or transition training requirement during
this period for:
49200 Pilots
24600 Technical Staff
Amendments
and
additions
of
new
requirements by Civil Aviation Authorities may
have an impact on training requirements, for
example :
Human Factors
Aviation Security for Airline Operators
Language Proficiency
The decision to provide training to third parties
will have a direct impact on:
Training requirements
The training organization structure
African Airlines
Afriqiyah Airways
Kenya Airways
Libyan Arab Airlines
Nouvel Air
Sudan Airways
Tunis Air
As human resource development awareness
within all departments of the organization
increases, training demand increases.
Migration of qualified human resources from
an organization results in new recruitment and
increased volume of training.
Aware of the future increase in training
requirements and to cope with the current
training demands, EgyptAir developed its
training center to have both the quantitative
and qualitative capabilities to provide the
required training.
EgyptAir Training Center is located at Cairo Airport in a newlybuilt center which complies with architectural and infrastructure
requirements of a modern training facility.
