During the course, participants underwent intensive theoretical and practical sessions, including full-scale cabin simulator exercises and live emergency drills covering emergency evacuation, medical response, aviation security, crew resource management, regulatory compliance and passenger service. Conducted under the theme, “When Seconds Count,” the training was designed to sharpen critical skills and reinforce the ability of cabin crew personnel to respond effectively and confidently in demanding operational environments.
The course culminated on 5 June 2026 with the graduation of the participants, marking another milestone in ATSTC’s efforts to strengthen aviation safety standards within the Nigerian Air Force. In his remarks, the Commandant of the Centre, Air Vice Marshal NB Folaji, commended the graduates for their resilience, discipline and dedication, noting that refresher training remains vital for maintaining operational readiness and ensuring swift, professional responses during emergencies.
