Finchglow Holdings has revealed plans to construct a new pilot training facility at the Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport in Ogun State, Nigeria. The Group Managing Director, Bankole Bernard, made the announcement during a press conference in Lagos, highlighting the company's goal to address the increasing demand for skilled aviators and promote human capital development in West Africa.
Bernard assured that the project will not only enhance domestic aviation capacity but also build upon the group's existing training institutions. The proposed flight school will primarily focus on core flight training, including piloting and aeronautical engineering programs, while serving as an extension of Finchglow's current training capabilities.
The process with Nigeria's Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) will be smooth since the initiative is essentially an expansion of the company's existing aviation training license. Bernard stated, "NCAA cannot stop the game because we have our license already... It's not like they're starting anything fresh. They will approve our extension, inspect the facility, and once we have the application from the state government, the rest is history."
