Education and Training
Since 2008, CIASL has been the first airport to venture into providing higher education in aviation management and technical areas in order to overcome the shortage of skilled manpower in the aviation industry. CIASL has teamed up with the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) to start two schools in aviation education:
- CIAL Aviation Academy provides 2 year management degrees in aviation and airport management, operations, economics, finance and human resources, along with short-term aviation oriented vocational diplomas. The academy also trains technical manpower required for airport operations. Air India Express currently has its temporary Stewards Grooming and training center in the facility.
