Hamuwezi kuileta Kenya ifanyiwe overhaul huku?
Kenya haina certified Dash 8-300 engineers for D check! BTW why tupeleke kwa kwenu wakati Ethiopia r our partners and has more experienced manpower on aircraft maintenence if at all the services were available in the region? Do you know even our pilots r being trained in Ethiopia and as we speak our training school is having special trainings for this kind of aircraft ongoing!

Institute of Transport, ATCL seal deal to modernise aviation industry
THE future of this country’s aviation industry heavily relies in qualified manpower with necessary skills and qualifications, National Institute of Transport’s Rector, Professor Zachariah Mganilwa has said.
Air Tanzania Company Limited’s spokesperson, Josephat Kagirwa (C ) briefing members of NIT Governing Council when the delegation visited the airline’s hangar at Julius Nyerere International Airport’s Terminal I in Dar es Salaam last week. Photo courtesy of NIT.
Speaking after signing a memorandum of understanding with Air Tanzania Company Limited in Dar es Salaam yesterday, Prof Mganilwa said the main objective of the MoU which was initially signed in 2012, is to enable the two institutions collaborate in improving the aviation industry.
Prof Mganilwa who accompanied members of NIT Governing Council who visited ATCL headquarters further noted that the deal will allow the state airliner’s personnel get training at NIT but also for ATCL to recruit graduates of the institute.
“We have agreed to conclude the MoU that was initiated in 2012 between NIT and ATCL. Under the agreement, NIT will deal more with the theoretical aspects, the engineering component, while on the other hand the ATCL will deal with the practical side, the flying aspect,” he stated.
The NIT chief further noted that the institute is well positioned to training aviation transport experts hence the cooperation with the ATCL will help fill gaps which the state carrier has and which have since been identified.
ATCL will assist NIT’s School of Aviation and Technology produce more professionals who will support operations of the national flag carrier. "Today, ATCL has 575 employees but after two or three years it will need more than 1,000 who will mostly be Tanzanians,” he forecasted.
NIT established the School of Aviation Technology in 2015 with two departments, namely; Departments of Flying and Operations Management and that of Aeronautical Engineering.
Prof Mganilwa further added that NIT has already announced a tender for purchasing training aircrafts with initial communication with manufacturer of two Cessna 172 Skyhawks who will supply the planes for pilots training. The Pilot Training Base is expected to start in Dodoma and then later establish a bigger base at the Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA).
“We have secured U$D 21,250,000 from the World Bank aiming at establishing a centre of excellence in aviation and transport operations (CEATO),” he said.
Briefing the NIT delegation, ATCL’s acting Managing Director, Captain Said Hamad paid tribute to NIT’s Governing Council for the fruitful collaboration which will help the country’s aviation industry. "We have decided to work together and coordinate efforts that will enable NIT to produce a young generation of aviation personnel needed by ATCL," Capt Hamad said.
