Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on Friday organised the passing out ceremony for 15 freshly recruited airhostesses. According to details, CEO PIA Bernd Hildenbrand was the chief guest at the passing out ceremony of the 375th batch of female Flight Service Basic Training course at PIA Training Centre (PTC) here.
Some 15 freshly recruited airhostesses underwent this 12-week training programme 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 currently underway at PTC. He was informed that currently 54 trainees were 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 said those airhostesses would be the future of PIA and the cabin crew of an airline was 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. Later, he distributed certificates among the graduating airhostesses. Senior PIA management, families of graduating airhostesses and faculty members of PTC were also present on the occasion.
