According to Emem, the recruitment is a result of the airlineโ€™s planned expansion of flights and fleet in the coming months as soon as the airline takes delivery of more of its aircraft from maintenance abroad, and to support Nigeriaโ€™s local content policy which emphasizes development of indigenous capability without compromising quality, safety and environmental standards.
