Private
carrier Jet Airways, which expects its aviation academy to be functional from
early next year here, has said it will set up similar centres in Delhi and
Kolkata to cater to the growing in-house and industry demand.
“We have received provisional clearance for our aviation training
academy and we expect to receive a formal nod from the Corporate Affairs
Ministry shortly,” sources close to the development told PTI.
Initially, the airline had planned to set up the academy in
Mumbai alone. “But with queries coming in from other cities, we have decided to
expand it to Delhi and Kolkata as well along with Mumbai,” the sources said.
In its 2012 annual report, the Naresh Goyal-owned carrier had
told its shareholders it will create two subsidiary ventures for setting up a
marketing services company and an aviation training academy. The academy will
run certificate courses, ranging between one-and-half month to three months in
the areas such as cabin crew, airport services like ticketing, check—ins, and
security apart from crew resources management and personality enhancement.
“Our efforts will be to absorb these students, passing out from
the academy, within the airline. Besides, we will also help them get jobs at
other places,” they said. The whole idea is to make these centres a common platform
with courses in pilots and engineering training going forward, they said.
“Going by the orders placed by domestic carriers for planes,
demand for these jobs is expected to rise multi—fold in the year to come,” they
added.
