CEO PIA, Bernd Hildenbrand was chief guest at the passing out ceremony of the 375th batch of female Flight Service Basic Training course at PIA Training Center (PTC) on Friday.
15 freshly recruited airhostesses underwent this 12-week training program on various aspects of safety, first aid, grooming and customer care for ATR and A-320 aircraft. Later, some of them would be upgraded to A-330, after undergoing few short training sessions.
CEO was given an overview of the training courses being held at PTC. He was informed that currently 54 trainees are undergoing initial cabin crew training at the PTC. In addition, training courses for other PIA employees, including pilots and engineers, are also underway.
Expressing his views on the occasion, Hildenbrand regarded these airhostesses as the future of PIA and said the cabin crew of an airline is not only an ambassador of the airline but also of the entire country. He advised them to ensure highest standards of service in their profession. He also distributed certificates among the graduating air-hostesses.
Senior PIA management, families of graduating air-hostesses and faculty members of PTC were present on the occasion.
