our years ago, in January, Air Serbia celebrated a new milestone in the development of its flight crew when
la su obuku za let na komercijalnim avionima, i to prvi put u istoriji srpske nacionalne avio-kompanije. Danije- li Miletić, Biljani Savić i Ivani Milojević dobrodošlicu je tada poželeo Dane Kondić, generalni direktor Er Srbi- je , koji je tom prilikom izjavio da je ponosan što će radi- ti za Er Srbiju . – Ovo je značajna prekretnica u istoriji vazduhoplov- stva Srbije i pokazuje našu posvećenost pružanju jed- nakih mogućnosti svima, što je i osnovna vrednost Er Srbije . Ovi piloti su rangirani na osnovu svojih sposob- nosti i to je ono što predstavlja novu avio-kompaniju. Partnerstvo s Etihadom nam pomaže da izgradimo tim svetske klase profesionalaca u avio-saobraćaju. S ambi- cioznim planovima za proširenje naše saobraćajne mre- že širom sveta mi nastavljamo da tražimo talentovane srpske pilote s pravim veštinama, kvalifikacijama i sta- vovima, a koji bi se pridružili našoj avio-kompaniji – re- kao je Kondić. Sva tri pilota maštala su o letenju još od detinjstva. Da- nijela Miletić je oktobra 2012. položila završni pilotski ispit u belgijskom vazduhoplovnom koledžu u Osten- deu. Od tog dana je letela poslovnim avionima marke embraer za nemačku avio-kompaniju. – Mada je za žene tradicionalno bilo teško da postanu piloti, vremena su se promenila. Er Srbija ukida granice i ja sam ponosna što sam deo ove uzbudljive promene – rekla je tada Danijela. Biljana Savić je takođe ispunila svoj san iz detinjstva da postane pilot. – Kao mala, s majkom sam putovala avio- nom i tada su me pozvali u kokpit. Od tog trenutka znala sam da je moja sudbina da postanem pilot i počela sam da letim sa 16 godina – rekla je tom prilikom Biljana. Ivana Milojević leti od 1999. i obučavala se u Jatovoj pi- lotskoj akademiji, pored školovanja u Londonu. Njen iz- bor karijere bio je inspirisan uspehom njenog oca. – Moj otac je pilot i ja sam uvek želela da idem njego- vim stopama. Rad za našu nacionalnu avio-kompaniju je stvar ponosa i uzbuđena sam zbog obuke za pilotira- nje na avionima ATR-72.
three female pilots began training for commercial flights for the first time in the history of the Serbian national airline. Danijela Miletić, Biljana Savić and Ivana Milojević were wished a warm welcome at the time by Air Serbia CEO Dane Kondić, who said: “We are proud that three female pilots will be working for Air Serbia as part of our highly skilled and professional air crew. This is an important milestone in the history of Serbian aviation and demonstrates our commitment to equal opportunity, which is a core value of Air Serbia. These pilots were appointed on the merit of their ability and this represents the new Air Serbia. The partnership with Etihad Airways is helping us build a team of world-class airline professionals. With ambitious plans to expand our network around the world, we continue to look for talented Serbian pilots with the right skills, qualifications and attitude to join the airline.” All three pilots were passionate about flying from a young age. Danijela Miletić passed her final pilot exam at Belgium’s Ostend Air College in October 2012, and before joining Air Serbia flew Embraer business jets for a German airline. “Although women have traditionally found it difficult to become pilots, times are changing. Air Serbia is breaking boundaries and I am proud to be part of this exciting change” said Danijela. Biljana Savić has also fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a pilot. She now has more than 15 years of flying experience. “When I was younger, I travelled on a flight with my mother and was invited into the cockpit. Since that moment, I knew becoming a pilot was my destiny and I started flying at 16 years of age,” said Biljana. Ivana Milojević has been flying since 1999 and was trained at the Jat Pilot Academy, in addition to a London institute. Her career choice was inspired by her father’s success. “My father loved being a pilot and I always longed to follow in his footsteps. Working for our national airline is a matter of pride and I am excited about training to fly Air Serbia’s ATR- 72,” she said at the time.
