Arajet, in collaboration with Boeing, informed that they are in the final phase of the academic preparation of the first two Dominican cadet pilots, who had the opportunity to obtain the knowledge and practices that will allow them to enter the aviation labor market as first officers.

The cadets are José Mauríz and Carlos Martínez, who, thanks to this initiative, are undergoing training to world-class standards and will soon begin their duties in the cockpits of Arajet aircraft, marking a new era of opportunities for young Dominicans who dream of becoming pilots.

Victor Pacheco Mendez, CEO & Founder of Arajet, said that through this project the airline seeks to strengthen its team of pilots with Dominican collaborators and thus continue contributing to local talent and its development of skills and knowledge to promote the growth of the sector in the country.

“For Arajet to create a Dominican airline also means that there will be knowledge transfer for the country’s talent, and that we can train not only pilots, but all types of technicians in the aviation area that will allow us to consolidate as a flagship airline of national pride, full of Dominican collaborators in all areas,” added Pacheco Méndez.

The aspiring first officers expressed their satisfaction for the support they have received through this program, which will allow young people with low flight hours to increase their knowledge and prepare them for commercial aviation.

The airline informed that it will soon begin the second call for applications for the program, which consists of competency interviews, simulator tests and technical knowledge evaluation.

Arajet indicated that this platform is part of its commitment to contribute to the growth of the aviation sector in the Dominican Republic and make the country the preferred hub in the Caribbean.
