The Indian aviation and aeronautics sector has recovered from a difficult pandemic period and is once again flying high. The number of travellers is expected to double to 400 million in the coming years, with a market size of USD 4.33 billion by 2025.
This 6-month programme is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles, practises, and policies relevant to the aviation and aeronautics industries, including technical aspects as well as leadership and business management dimensions.
Participants from a wide range of aviation, aeronautics and allied industry sectors will learn airline and airport operations & management, multi-modal logistics, infrastructure development, public-private partnerships; mergers & acquisitions in aviation, ESG, sustainability, IT strategy & applications, and various other topics from distinguished IIMA faculty.
Further, this limited seat programme includes industry-leading global exposure at the state-of-the-art campus at ENAC, Toulouse, France.
