Abu Dhabi Airports, the operator of the emirate’s five airports, launched ‘ASAAS’ – a new programme to attract, recruit and train Emirati university graduates interested in joining the aviation sector.
The programme will seek to empower them with knowledge and experience in airport operations and management.
Successful university graduates will receive on-the-job training over a six-month period.
The training has been designed to cover a wide range of industry-relevant subjects, like airport operations – land and airside, aircraft flight and ground operations, health and safety, security management and general business management studies.
Jamal Salem Al Dhaheri, managing director and chief executive officer at Abu Dhabi Airports, said the new programme was a testament of its commitment to paving the way for a new generation of Emirati aviation leaders.
“With an intensive on-the-job training in collaboration with top-class universities in Abu Dhabi, the next generation of aviation leaders will be well-equipped to shape the future of airports,” he said.
