This is in fact fundamentals for aviation business. Ok in general but could use couple more international business models as well a bit more about MRO side of aerospace industry.

Great introduction to Aviation business management. A lot of examples are based in the Indian aviation market. But the concepts and ideas are global.
By Anonymized User on 9/8/2025
Good overview of aviation essentials. Clear content, divided into logical sections. As for supportive feedback - values expressed in dollars instead of INR, and mixing in more international examples to match the amount of Indian ones would help. But still a valuable course and good learning experience.
By Abdullatif Mkiti on 8/23/2025
The course was clear, practical, and well-structured. I appreciated how the content was broken down into simple explanations with relevant examples. It gave me useful insights into the aviation business. A bit more depth in certain areas would make it even stronger, but overall it was a valuable learning experience.

The course was informative and gives a brief overview and introduction on the functioning of the aviation business in India. It’s a good course for beginners.
By Marc Dawodu on 1/3/2024
Yes, I must say so. I only noticed some typos and I do hope the Facilitator will correct them. Lowcost carriers and not "careers". other than that, the module was pretty straight forward and he explained the steps well and thoroughly.
