WILLEMSTAD - Captain Aico Polonius and First Officer Petrus Martina have been in possession of their so-called 'type rating' since earlier this week for operating the Saab340 aircraft from EZ Air.
After the two-week theoretical course, they have now also successfully completed their simulator training. It concerns pilots of EZ Air who are stationed on Curaçao.
EZ Air is in the process of switching to Saab340 aircraft that have more seats and offer more comfort. A third Saab aircraft will soon come to the islands to reinforce the current fleet.
