Airbus partners with IIM Mumbai to elevate aviation education in India

In a move to boost India's aviation talent pool, Airbus, the European aerospace giant, has signed a significant contract with the prestigious Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Mumbai. This partnership sets the stage for providing top-tier aviation education to professionals, equipping them with industry-specific skills through Airbus Beyond programmes.

The collaboration entails IIM Mumbai offering short-term aviation courses designed to cater to aspiring and practising professionals. These courses will cover various crucial areas, including aviation logistics, supply chain management, operations excellence, cargo handling, strategic procurement, business analytics, and digitisation.

We remain dedicated to realising the potential of India's growing aviation industry and strengthening the ecosystem through our sustained skilling efforts, said R?mi Maillard, president of Airbus India and South Asia. Through this partnership, we are combining our expertise and resources to create comprehensive programmes that will help advance the future of aerospace education and skills in India.

Prof. Manoj K Tiwari, Director of IIM Mumbai, hailed the collaboration as a significant stride toward fostering excellence in management development within the aviation sector. He underscored the institute's dedication to nurturing talent and driving transformative impact in the dynamic landscape of aerospace.

Under the agreement, IIM Mumbai will spearhead the organisation of courses, student enrollment, and provision of infrastructure and logistical support. On the other hand, Airbus will furnish trainers and training materials sourced from the Airbus Beyond catalogue for short-term courses during the initial phase. Subsequently, the partners will collaborate to co-curate long-term courses and certify trainers in the later stages of the programme.
