A new course has started here to equip the new generation of Airport Authority of India (AAI)Managers to face the current and future Indian air navigation challenges, while ensuring safe and efficient operations.
The AAI collaborated with a French Aviation University to improve the skills of its navigation service professionals.
The ‘Advanced Masters Course in Air Navigation Service Provider Management’ began today at Civil Aviation Training College (CATC) here.
The programme is a joint project of Ecole Nationale de I’Aviation Civile-French National Aviation University and CATC, a wing of Airports Authority of India (AAI).
According to the International Aviation Institute, the Asia Pacific region requires around 3,50,000 pilots in the coming 20 years. But India produces only 350-400 pilots every year.Hence he called upon the officials to spread awareness of the opportunities that aviation offers to the young students.
The first batch of 50 Air Navigation Services (ANS) professionals will undergo a training of 6 months (academic phase) and an internship of the same duration.
