DOHA, Qatar – Qatar Airways is pleased to announce that it has teamed up with Rolls-Royce to co-
develop a unique specialised training programme for the airline’s National engineers, as part of its Al
Darb Qatarisation programme.
The new ‘Innovation for Leaders’ Programme has been designed to enable Al Darb participants to learn
from Rolls-Royce’s innovation and leadership. Professional experts from Rolls-Royce will introduce the

to be collaborating with Rolls-Royce on this specialised Innovation Programme to provide our Nationals with
essential insights from both organisations. This is a unique opportunity for Al Darb participants to learn from
some of the sharpest business minds in the aviation industry.
“The ‘Innovation for Leaders’ Programme is one of the many initiatives Al Darb Qatarisation programme is
implementing to support talented young Nationals to develop their professional skills and fulfil leadership
roles in the aviation industry, as well as provide them with the opportunity to connect and learn from the
airline’s global strategic partners.”
In addition, Rolls-Royce will also hold a Business Management and Commercial Awareness Course in
Derby, U.K. in January 2019 for Qatar Airways’ Nationals, which will provide them exposure to topics
including: Airline Strategy, Commercial, Finance Essentials and Airline Simulation.
Rolls-Royce Vice President – Customers, Mr. David Hynes, said: “Rolls-Royce is honoured to have the
opportunity to partner with Qatar Airways to jointly enhance our knowledge of how to effectively lead
innovation in our businesses. It was great to see our teams working together so enthusiastically to solve
real life problems facing our industries.”
The training is part of Qatar Airways’ Al Darb Qatarisation programme, a development initiative that aims to
support Nationals to become passionate global citizens and leaders in the aviation industry.
A Qatari word that means ‘The Pathway’, Al Darb highlights the different paths that individuals can take with
Qatar Airways. Through initiatives such as its summer internship programme and Graduate Developee
programme, Al Darb provides students and graduates with real-life projects that add to their work
experience and prepare them for a successful career at the National Carrier of the State of Qatar.
