Côte d’Ivoire registers first airline pilot. Trained for two years in a partnership successively at INP-HB, the Yamoussoukro National Polytechnic Institute, then at Airways College, a French aviation school, this promotion has just been accredited by ANAC, the Ivorian civil aviation authority.
It is about 15 young Ivorians who will join the teams of Air Côte d ‘Ivoire, the national company, at the origin of this partnership intended to meet its needs in human resources.
The carrier, in full expansion, currently operates a dozen aircraft (four aircraft type Bombardiers Q400 and six Airbus Family A320) and serves about twenty destinations in West and Central Africa.
It should be noted that this training is in line with Côte d’Ivoire’s ambition to set up an aerospace industry. On June 15, a memorandum of understanding was signed with the European manufacturer Airbus to “turn Côte d’Ivoire into a hub for aerospace technology in Africa,” said Vice President Daniel Kablan Duncan.
