In order to be a leader in aviation training, it is crucial to have state-of-the-art facilities where students can learn, using the most advanced technology.

This is just one example of the company’s emphasis on high-quality healthcare for its employees. Egnatia promotes in every stage of professional life, the tools to excel and develop not only the talent but also the well-being of their team members.

This is just one instance where the company actively engages with their people. Additionally, other private events and social gatherings are organised within the community to strengthen it.
