Speedwings Aviation Academy

The aviation industry is growing by leaps and bounds worldwide. In India, the demand for air transport increased tremendously and booming of low cost carriers coupled with operation of new international routes and privatization of airports creates huge employment opportunities. Today, many think of a bright career in the travel and aviation industry. Normally the public is aware of jobs like pilot, cabin crew and traffic officer. The vital areas of commercial activities in ground handling are still not unearthed and people are yet to become aware of it.

Speedwings Aviation Academy, the premier IATA authorized training center for UFTAA, FIATA, DGR and the direct IATA aviation courses is located at Kaloor in Kochi and is the leading academy in Asia to impart the new IATA aviation courses.

The one year PGAAHM enables the students for management training in all commercial activities of airline and airport operations and the on-going batch had just completed an on-the- job-training at Changi Airport in Singapore. The one-year diploma in Airline Customer Service Management will mould the students to set up new trends and professionalism in customer care to meet the new challenges in the aviation industry. The specialized unique aviation courses based on Load Control and Weight & Balance help the aspirants get better career options to the highest levels in airline industry.

Speedwings is a leading private institute in non-airline sector in India offering these professional training. Mr Biji Eapen heads the faculty team. Besides, a conglomerate of airline professionals and UFTAA experts with decades of proven experience in various airlines and airports in India and abroad also form the faculty.
