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 said.
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 that it would create two subsidiary ventures for setting up a marketing services company and an aviation training academy.
The new aviation academies will run certificate courses, ranging from one-and-half months to three months in areas such as cabin crew, airport services like ticketing, check-ins, and security apart from crew resources management.
