JATS opens doors to students to introduce them to aviation

Final year Madrasati students from two Mafraq high schools last week visited JATS at its premises at Queen Alia International Airport near Amman. 

The students were given a brief about the training procedure every pilot, cabin crew and maintenance crew member has to undertake to keep their aviation licenses updated and in compliance with their respective civil aviation regulatory requirements.  Then the students witnessed a simulated live land and water plane ditching emergency evacuation and a practical economy class service application in JATS’ In-Flight Safety department. 

They also each had the opportunity of a lifetime to ‘fly’ in one of JATS’ 6 simulators.  Afterwards the students were treated to a light lunch in the cafeteria and mingled with JATS’ management and staff. 

“It is a privilege to open JATS’ doors to these students and to make a small contribution in exposing them to the aviation industry, which hopefully might be of great value for them later in their life” said Amer Fakhoury, JATS’s general manager
