People being trained to meet aviation manpower requirements – Minister

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Minister of Civil Aviation and Communication Dr. Mohamed Jameel Ahmed has said that he is developing human capital by training people in the areas of travel and communication.

Speaking at a ceremony held to commemorate the international civil aviation day on the 7th of December, Dr. Ahmed stated that building a skilled workforce in this sector is of grave import to the government and mentioned plans to establish a flight school in the country in the near future, under foreign investment schemes.

Dr. Ahmed conceded that there was a shortage of skilled labour within the country, particularly in the civil aviation sector, despite the fact that the sector of the country had offered the best employment opportunities in terms of working conditions and remuneration for the past 10 years.

Dr. Ahmed said that the significance of civil aviation to the country is increasing continuously and that this was because of the many advantages it offered to the citizens economically and said that there remained a lot to be done to improve the sector.
