Arajet, in collaboration with the aircraft manufacturer Boeing, informed that they are in the final phase of 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 are undergoing training with world standards, and will soon begin to perform 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, expressed that through the 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 boost the growth of the sector in the country.
“For Arajet to create a Dominican airline also means that there will be a transfer of knowledge for Dominican 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 local collaborators in all areas,” he said.
