Finchglow Holdings to Launch Pilot Training School in Ogun

Finchglow Holdings has announced its intention to establish a new pilot training facility at the Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport in Ogun State. This initiative aims to address the increasing demand for skilled aviation personnel and enhance human capital development in West Africa.

Bankole Bernard, the Group Managing Director of Finchglow Holdings, shared these plans during a media briefing in Lagos. The proposed flight school will focus on core flight training, including piloting and aeronautical engineering programs, and will serve as an extension of Finchglow's existing training capabilities.

Bernard indicated that the regulatory process with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is expected to proceed smoothly, as the initiative is structured as an expansion of Finchglow's current aviation training licensing rather than a new application. He stated, “NCAA cannot stop the game because we have our license already," emphasizing that the facility's approval will follow once the application from the state government is submitted.
