CAPA AeroPark today announced details of a series of 3-day international executive programmes for aviation professionals, to be held at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai on 1-3 November 2012. Kapil Kaul, CEO South Asia, CAPA – Centre for Aviation said, “CAPA AeroPark was established with a mission of bringing world class aviation education and training to fast growth emerging markets and we are proud to be launching this inaugural series of courses in conjunction with the leading global universities and executive training organisations. The preliminary marketing of the courses has already elicited a strong response not only from India, but from across South Asia, the Gulf, the Indian Ocean islands and even parts of Africa.”
Mr Kaul added, “Given the dynamism and complexity of the aviation industry, the leaders of tomorrow cannot rely on traditional models from the past. These courses are therefore designed to achieve both professional development and personal growth. It was important to us to develop practical formats designed to stimulate innovation, productivity and performance, critical attributes in these challenging times.” CAPA AeroPark Executive Education will shortly publish an extensive calendar of day, residential and online courses to be held in 2013/14.
The courses on offer include:
