Aviation in Africa Today

Saturday, October 20, 2007

Passenger travel in Africa is growing steadily, and that's good news for perspective pilots from African countries. However, capacity needs to grow at the same pace. The market holds immense potential, according to the director-general of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, and European carriers have been actively working to add routes. US carrier, Delta Airines, is also adding US-Africa non-stop routes. Right now about 3,500 passengers fly daily each way between the US and Africa.

If you're interested in becoming a pilot, and you are from an African country, consider coming to the US for your flight training. You can then become a highly skilled pilot and return to Africa to fly for one of the continent's growing airlines.  Talk to a Phoenix East admissions officer about how to accomplish your aviation goals.

My name is Jason Prestigiacomo and I’m a First Officer for United Express Airlines, operated by Air Wisconsin Airlines. I’m currently based in Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport flying the CRJ. This assignment was made easier because of the flight training I received at Phoenix East Aviation, Daytona Beach, Florida. Career instructors like other flight schools do not run the flight department at PEA. Former airline pilots run it. These pilots have built up thousands of hours in some of the world’s largest and most advanced airliners and know first hand how to make the transition into the airline industry. All of the training is based upon airline standards, which makes things much easier when you step into your first airline or corporate job.
 
I looked into other flight schools and selected PEA because of their laid-back operation and job placement statistics. I attained all of my certificates and ratings at PEA, and then took a job with them as a Flight Instructor in 2001. If your goal is to become a Boeing 747 Captain or just a weekend pilot, Phoenix East Aviation is the school for you.
