Mohammed Bellatig, VP Maintenance & Engineering at Royal Air Maroc is proud of his young engineer, “The possibility of further education in the field of aircraft maintenance management at the renowned City University, London is of a great benefit for both our colleague Yassine Herraz and Royal Air Maroc.

That Yassine won against such tough competition confirms the high professional level and expertise of our employees and as a Company we look to our young engineers to drive the change that our business needs to flourish in the future.”

Whiteside made a special effort to personally present the award to Yassine in Casablanca: “We believe that our continuing sponsorship of both the course and the bursary demonstrates our commitment to the training and development of aviation professionals and we are encouraged by yet another year of considerable interest in our programme.  

Last year a student from Czech Airlines won the accolade and prior to that it was won by engineers from Ethiopian Airlines and Emirates. These people are often the unsung heroes behind efficient and profitable airlines and so it gives us enormous pleasure to reward such exceptional individuals in this way.”
