Our journey
  1. 1997

    A Humble Beginning

    We began as a cabin crew training organisation in a market where no such service existed: the first private provider of cabin crew training for individuals and for airlines, then known as Middle East Cabin Crew Training International.

  2. 2000

    Diversification Policies

    As training needs grew, so did the demand for hiring cabin crew. We looked beyond training, took the name MECCTI, and our global journey began.

  3. 2001

    First Dedicated Agency in the World

    MECCTI became the first dedicated agency for hiring and training cabin crew. With the support of our clients and the vision of our team, we grew to 20 employees in 3 destinations.

  4. 2012

    Novelty in Services

    We moved into pilot recruitment and training, with pilot assessments for clients in the Gulf states and South-East Asia, and came through a downturn in the global economy without a single job loss.

  5. 2012

    Partnership with Oman Air

    Appointed by Oman Air as its exclusive flight deck assessment centre. We assessed more than 1,100 pilots and went on to run the airline's global cabin crew selection.
