Airport Practical Activity Centre

Our Airport Practical Activity Centre complements our Airline Practical Activity Centre & Airline & Airport Training Centre with a wide range of airport based activities.

If your NEET learners, college, school or university offers Airline Customer Service Agents, Air Cabin Crew, Handling Air Passengers, Aviation First Aid, Airline & Airport or Travel & Tourism programmes then you MUST make a visit to our Centre in 2010-11 - you will be giving your students a Field Trip of a lifetime which will significantly enhance their CORE programme. Leisure, Hospitality and Public Service area programmes have also found these facilities useful as well.
