Pilot training surge could risk potential job shortage: Minister Ameen

Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Mohamed Ameen warned on Wednesday that Maldives may face problems with an oversaturation of trained pilots and not enough jobs for all of them in the future.

In the first press conference held by the ministry during the current administration, the minister said that even though the previous administration had opened 400 slots for pilot training programs, these programs should be conducted with the demand in mind, especially if they are provided under the student loan program.
