Comair had acquired the leadership development consultancy firm Metaco Holdings as part of its diversification strategy, Comair CEO Erik Venter announced today.
Venter says the acquisition fits well with its training business that already encompasses courses for pilots, cabin crew, ground operations staff and travel and tourism. “Through our existing client base, we have seen the demand for leadership and team coaching, and Metaco fits this requirement.
“Comair has evolved from operating two airline brands into an aviation group, with operations in aviation training, catering, hospitality and tourism and airport lounges. We are now balancing the capital-intensive airline business with new business units that are more reliant on intellectual capital and have a different revenue cycle and cost base.”
Venter said that Comair had worked extensively with Metaco over the past two years.
Metaco focuses on strategic development, organisational design and change management. The company offers a range of coaching and training modules for individuals and groups, developed in line with international best practice.
