Career Pathways in Aviation: From Training to Takeoff
At Airways Aviation, we don't just train pilots and crew; we create aviation leaders. Our integrated programs align with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards, ensuring your qualifications are recognized worldwide, including in India. For the upcoming intake in early 2024, enroll in courses that fast-track your career while gaining hands-on experience in Australia's safe and scenic flying environment.
- Commercial Pilot License (CPL) Pathway: Start with our Integrated ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot License) program, combining ground school, flight training, and simulator sessions. Graduates are job-ready for roles with major airlines like Qantas, Virgin Australia, or even Indian carriers upon return. Average starting salary for Australian-trained pilots: AUD 80,000–120,000 annually.
- Cabin Crew and Aviation Management: Our Diploma in Aviation (Cabin Crew) prepares you for in-flight roles, emphasizing safety, customer service, and emergency procedures. Opportunities extend to ground handling and airport management, with high demand in Australia's 50+ international airports.
- Advanced Ratings and Specializations: Add Multi-Engine Command Instrument Rating (MEIR) or Instructor qualifications to boost employability. Indian students often pursue these for repatriation to booming hubs like Delhi and Mumbai airports.
Our alumni network includes over 5,000 professionals worldwide, with many Indian graduates securing positions at AirAsia, SpiceJet, and international firms. The aviation industry's post-pandemic recovery means 1.5 million new jobs globally by 2025—your Airways Aviation qualification opens doors to 70% of them.
