ATLAS AIR supports Nigerian Students
at AVIATION SCHOOL LAGOS

Gospel Aghware with fellow students of the Aviation Department at the
Nigeria Institute of Air Travel and Maritime Studies.

Youth & Education Support members link up worldwide to help with
learning on aviation topics and increase cultural awareness

Gospel contacted PFA Youth & Education Support a year ago concerned about the safety record of aviation in Nigeria, and wanting to follow a course at the Institute to gain a job in the aviation industry. Through the encouragement and support of Captain Stewart Luck and friends, he is now a student at the Institute, and with the help of Atlas Air, the students have been sent some maps and models to help them with the course.

Since starting the course, the students have visited Ghana to study air freight procedures. This is what Gospel wrote about the visit:-

"Our tour to Ghana is a memorable trip I will not forget. We visit the airport and the aviation house over there. We were taken to various administrative offices and where the cargo and goods are being compacted together and send to the aircraft. We were shown the navigation house and traffic control tower, the runway and how pilots get dressed, their code of conduct and information. We saw various airliners and their crew, their structural way of operation. It was wild and interesting.
Today we wrote a test on that trip and I did well from the result. That was the AIR FREIGHT TEST. We were made to know the way fare and freight forwarders, the consignment, the carrier and shipper, how to fill in the AirWay BILL."
