With our expertise in process development, auditing, and coaching, we help organisations achieve and maintain high standards. We will utilise our collective experience to train and develop knowledge and skills that meet the standards of IATA and DGCA India.         

Aviation in India is in a rapid growth environment, and we seek to be the enablers that will significantly enhance the job prospects for freshers in airport passenger services, ground handling, cargo, and logistics operations. The organisations will benefit from the availability of a trained, customer-focused pool of talent that will contribute to improved operational safety and quality. We have regular training courses that are offered in-house. Some courses may be offered on site in collaboration with an associate or industry partner.

The airport operations-related courses at AVIA will be largely modelled on IATA requirements for various functions. Where the courses or programmes are conducted in collaboration with an airline, ground handling companies in India, or logistics partner, their respective requirements will be incorporated.
