THANKS TO THIS AGREEMENT 16 CENTRES WILL HAVE ACCESS TO ITAEREA’S ONLINE TRAINING
ITAérea Aeronautical Business School, CIFAL Mérida (International Training Centre for Authorities and Leaders in Mérida) and UNITAR (the United Nations Institute for Training and Research) signed a trilateral agreement in November 2017 at the UN Palace of Nations in Geneva. The goal of this agreement is to develop a comprehensive training on air transport by fulfilling the sustainable development goals of the UN 2030 Agenda.
UNITAR joined a partnership whose historical background is a clear proof of the strong and fruitful relationship between ITAérea and CIFAL Mérida. The training programme for managers of the air transport sector is this partnership’s keystone since thanks to the agreement signed in 2013, 1808 professionals of the airport sector across Latin America have been trained so far.
The signing ceremony for the extension of the collaboration agreement between ITAérea Business School, UNITAR and CIFAL Mérida which was signed in Geneva took place on 16th May 2018 at the ITAérea headquarters in Madrid. 16 CIFAL centres in El Salvador, Quito, Atlanta, Curitiba, Argentina, Algeria, Madrid, Zurich, Belgium, Poland, South Korea, Shanghai, Philippines and Australia will have access to ITAerea’s online training and will be able to certify the skills acquired and therefore, the industry’s sustainable growth will be supported and every sector involved will benefit from it.
10 years after that historic year 2013, on November 6, 2023, the alliance between ITAérea, UNITAR and CIFAL Mérida was renewed through the signing in Miami of the agreement to expand the collaboration.
KEY ADVANTAGES FOR OUR STUDENTS
WE DISPEL YOUR DOUBTS
To clarify the answer to this question, we are going to answer the following questions which are strictly related to this one.
To sum up it is about administering and managing air transport businesses such as airports, airlinesair navigation management companies in its broadest sense (both for private airspace and control towers), aircrafts manufacturers and all other related companies acting as provider or customer.
It is not a technical training but on business organisation.
When it comes to passing on real knowledge about how to manage or run an air transport company, the best and only way to do is through professional managers or directors in the airport and aeronautical sector.
Let’s give some examples:
For this reason, we consider the general director or manager to be the best teacher since he/she is the only one holding the appropriate knowledge. However, that is only the starting point for us since her/his teaching skills will be audited by the academic department. Solely if he/she meets the first requirement.
That is the reason why airport and aeronautical business management shouldn’t be studied in any of the following places:
Definitely the most appropriate degree is airport and aeronautical business management but also degrees in aeronautical engineering, industrial or telecommunications engineering, road engineering and degrees in economics, business administration and law.
Air transport is very international in its core and therefore dealing with an employment on airport and aeronautical business management should be done in a global context. There are several air travel companies worldwide due to the human need of commuting from one place to another and specially in those places with a big geographical spread and a significant offshoring of the urban centres.
Each air transport company is an employment source or career opportunity in airport and aeronautical business management. All of them have different departments which can be adequate depending on each person’s previous university studies: operations, maintenance, sales, marketing, finance, legal.
