The IATA Training and Development Institute and
Etihad Airways have partnered to develop some of the required
human capital the aviation industry needs in the Middle East region.
The
training partnership will commence with the implementation of the
Airline Customer Service program and will extend afterwards to
other fields in aviation, cargo, travel and tourism.
The partnership will also aim at upgrading the leadership
competencies of various industry resources by introducing the
IATA-Harvard Leadership & Management training program in
collaboration with Harvard Business School Publishing.
Tony Tyler, IATA’s Director General and CEO,
said, “The United Arab Emirates is expecting to handle 86.6 million
international passengers by 2015, an 8.5% average annual growth.
If that materializes, in 2015 it will handle nearly 30 million
more passengers than in 2010. Skills and knowledge will be
critical to support this extraordinary growth.”
“We are delighted
to be involved in this partnership as there is no more important
resource for any organization than its people,” said Etihad
Airways President and Chief Executive Officer, James Hogan. “This
joint initiative should help provide access to opportunity as we
build a talent pool across all facets of the aviation industry,
and provide a career path for appropriately trained
professionals.”
