Kingfisher launches aviation training academy


Kingfisher Training Academy, the subsidiary of Kingfisher Airlines was inaugurated by Dr Vijay Mallya, chairman and CEO of the company, in Mumbai recently.

Speaking after the inauguration, Mallya said, “we will be giving training to the candidates to work in the modern world, we will provide them exposure of high quality service. The students in this academy will be versed with multi field skills”.

“When we take recruit for our company from other institutes, we have to train them again to fill them in. There is a gap in their training what they get from their institute. We are looking for trained people and opening this academy makes sense for us”.

“We have no tie-up with any university. I am not aware of any university other than some hotel management institutes where students just get degrees. They need exposure of the field”.

Kingfisher has spent more than Rs 10 crore for this new venture and we will be opening 10 more branches in the coming year, including metro cities and other cities will be our target, Mallya said.

More than 2000 students will pass out every year from this academy. There will be a new batch every months. The course will be completed in six months and the fees will be Rs 1 lakh. Already, 100 students enrolled with us for starting session, said Rajesh Verma, head of the Kingfisher Training Academy.

The company claimed to have faculty members are form the Raj group of hotels, Jet Airways and many other top class people from the hospitality industry.
