Airport Ground Services (AGS) – 2 months
( Diploma Course )

The civil aviation sector has played an important role in India's economy. It provides fast and reliable mode of transport across the country and is particularly important for many areas/places still not adequately connected by rail or road. In 2000-01, 42.03 million domestic and international passengers and 846.42 thousand tones of cargo were handled at various airports in the country.

The decision to restructure existing airports at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata through long-term lease in order to make them world class is another important milestone. Green-field international airports at Hyderabad and Bangalore are also on the anvil with equity being shared by the AAI (13 percent), State Government (13 percent) and joint venture partner (74 percent)

There is a continuing effort forwards up gradation and modernization of air traffic services. New approaches in airport designs would be considered to accommodate technological innovations like new large aircrafts. Technological up gradation should be extended to cover the ground facilities through introduction of automation and computerisation, mechanisation of baggage handling facilities and provision of aero-bridges etc.

Livewel is India’s only Aviation Company to be hold an ISO 9000 certification, with DGCA and GCAA approvals. Today, Livewel Aviation services are in the forefront of Airport Services not only at major Indian Airports like Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Goa, Kolkatta and Cochin but also at Airports Internationally.

Travel and Tourism (T&T) (IATA Certified)– 4 months

India’s travel and tourism market was valued at US$42 billion in 2005, and is growing rapidly. India emerged as the fifth most preferred destination by the world’s travelers in a survey conducted across 134 countries. India also figures in the Annual Readers’ Travel Awards 2005, which were announced by the prestigious magazine Conde Nast Travellers UK in its September 2005 edition. A 5,000 year history, culture, religion and alternative medicine fascinate both budget and luxury travellers alike.

The Department of Tourism’s resolve in promoting Indian tourism has strengthened as it recognises it’s potential. Tourism in India is the third largest foreign exchange earner, accounting for 2.5% of GDP. The outlay on tourism development rose to Rs7,860 million in 2005/2006, from Rs3,500 million in 2003/2004, and continued to focus on the “Atithi Devo Bhavah” campaign, targeted at the inbound foreign tourists in the country. Translated literally this means “Guest is God”.

The number of outbound travellers from India grew by 15% to 6.2 million in 2005/2006. This was almost twice the number of arrivals witnessed by the country. A booming economy, with GDP growth of more than 7%, rising disposable incomes, higher aspirations, and cheaper air travel to countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore and better products from the industry enticed Indian travellers. This has prompted a number of global tour operators to enter the Indian tourism market either directly or through strategic alliances.

To meet this ever increasing demand Livewel Aviation Training Academy has designed the right curriculum which would equip you for the dream job that you wish in Travel and Tourism.

The modules are:-

• Introduction to Travel and Tourism
• Ticketing and Reservations
• Passenger Handling
• IATA Standards
• Iternary, Tours and Packages
• CRS – GALILEO
  

Aviation Cargo (AC) – 5 weeks

Air transport is the most modern, the quickest and the latest addition to the modes of transport. Because of speed with which airplanes can fly, travel by air is becoming increasingly popular. As far as world trade is concerned it is still dominated by sea transport because air transport is very expensive and is also unsuitable for carrying heavy, bulky goods. However, transportation of high value light goods and perishable goods is increasingly being done by air transport.

The growth of air cargo in India has also been manifold though it might not have kept pace with the progress made all over the world. Table 1 shows how both international and domestic air cargo traffic has increased, reflecting an overall year on year growth.

Table 1: Trends in cargo traffic at five international airports in India.
(Figures in '000 tonnes)

The major reasons, which can be attributed to this increase, are:-
Increase in overseas trade; Indian economic policies; Customer service orientation;
Inventory concerns; E-commerce development.

As domestic and foreign airlines are increasingly recognizing the potential of India's air cargo market, the country's airports will be seeing new generation air freighters taking off in the months to come. Airlines such as Cathay Pacific, Emirates, British Airways, Jet Airways, and Lufthansa are also pressing into service new freighters, setting new trends in carrying cargo.

All the above developments will create many job opportunities in the field of Airline cargo.

The curriculum will cover the following Modules -

• Introduction to the Aviation Cargo
• Documentations
• Handling Cargo
• Rates and Claim for lost/damaged cargo
• Security Instructions pertaining to cargo
  

Aviation Security Awareness Basic – 5 weeks

Aviation Industry is most vulnerable to threats from terrorists. The Government of India has expressed its commitment to implementing security programs and initiatives that will ensure air transportation security throughout the country and prevent terrorists from using India as a base of departure or transit.

In India the passage of Air traffic is growing at a very rapid rate and airline is providing to be an attractive business opportunity. Many new airlines are planning to enter the aviation field. At the same time many existing airlines are planning huge additions to their fleet.

In addition many foreign airlines are expanding their operations into India. This would further enhance the job opportunity in the security department. We at Livewel aviation Training academy offer ICAO approved airline security awareness course which is acceptable worldwide.

The course would include

• The role of ICAO
• Importance of Annexure 17

Hospitality & Customer Services – 3 months

The Indian sub-continent has allowed us to witness a full cycle for the hotel sector in the country - The last three years have been particularly exciting with the industry performing exceptionally well.

More interestingly, it has taken India approximately 11 years to reach or exceed the previous occupancy highs seen in the mid-nineties. Domestic demand for hotels in
India is much higher than demand from foreigners and much of the domestic demand is
not leisure-related but tends to be business demand. However, with liberalisation and an overall improving economy, an increasing number of Indians have started taking annual
holidays, both within the country and overseas. Many states within India such as Goa, Rajasthan and Kerala have started focusing their marketing efforts at the Indian
leisure traveller after realising the potential of this segment.

The increase in hotel rooms in the country and the growth of quality and value-for-money
mid-market, budget and economy hotels are expected to significantly impact travel within
India, positively. As roads and other infrastructure develop, the requirement for these hotels in secondary and tertiary cities is expected to increase significantly.

A number of international brands across all hotel segments are planning to or have recently entered the Indian market and domestic hotel chains are embarking on strong expansion and development plans across all hotel segments. To meet this strong need we have tailor made modules which would equip you for the Hotel Industry.

The modules covered are:-

• Grooming
• Classifications of Hotels
• Front Office
• Housekeeping
• Food and Beverage
• CRS – Fidelio
  

Courses to be launched soon

Pilot Training (PT)

There is an acute and growing worldwide shortage of qualified pilots. Market analysts forecast that a minimum of 16,000 new pilots will be required each and every year for the next 20 years. On a conservative estimate a minimum of 6,000 of these will be required each year in the Asian region alone. India will require a minimum of 4,000 new pilots over the next 3 ½ years just to meet the demands of the scheduled aircraft deliveries. The training resources required to meet these demands simply do not exist today.

Multi – Crew Pilot License (MPL)
Becoming a commercial airline pilot was a long and expensive process that many people just dreamt about.  The traditional method of reaching this objective was to obtain a Private Pilot License on a single engine aircraft followed by a Commercial Pilot License, Instrument Rating, Aircraft Type Rating and Multi-Crew Co-operation training. All of these training programs have a specific number of flight hours that cadets must complete and cost a significant amount of money.  This process developed after the Second World War and had not been updated since.

The key benefits of the new MPL syllabus are:

• Reduced training time (12 months versus 20 months)
• An increase in actual and simulated flight hours to 240 hours
• Integrated, specific and highly disciplined multi crew airline orientated training
• Pilots ready to enter immediate active airline service on graduation;
• Fully qualified on aircraft type
• No expensive and resource consuming ‘training gap’
• Pilots already trained to airlines Standard Operating Procedures
• Significantly improved training at lower Cost

MPL students will be trained as professional airline pilots from day one.

The MPL exemplifies the progression in the Aviation Industry as it utilises the most advanced technology in simulated environments to teach cadets in a safe and controlled manner. Furthermore, the MPL differs from the traditional method of training as it is based on competency and understanding rather than hours of flight time. The cadet will continue to learn until the instructors are confident in their ability to move on to the next phase.

It is the most efficient and cost effective method of training available today. Cadets will graduate fully prepared to enter into in the airline multi crew environment.  The MPL course has the following course structure:

The result of the above is that an ab-initio pilot can be trained in 12 months and be type rated on a 737 or A320 and enter airline operations.

Flight Dispatcher (FD)

Aircraft Dispatchers are critical for the safe and efficient operation of an air carrier’s fleet. Each flight is different and requires the dispatcher to carefully review all of the available information before a flight may be released. With complicated aircraft systems, busy air routes & removal of Flight Engineers from the flight deck, pilots rely on certified aircraft dispatchers for accurate and timely information.

Generally the scope of authority for a dispatcher is regional. A dispatcher may exercise authority and control over a geographic region or area. Dispatchers are authorized to cross all organizational lines. With this authority dispatchers are responsible for directing many operations within an article. Dispatchers often work closely with maintenance, ramp control, crew scheduling, the fuel department, and others within the organization to ensure safe and timely completion of all activities relating to the flight. This information provides the dispatcher with the “big picture”. An example of this is that a licensed dispatcher is the only person in an airline authorized to cancel a flight. All of this information and more is gathered and disseminated in the airline’s operational control centre or dispatch office.

A dispatcher is jointly responsible with the pilot for the safe operation of a flight.

Duties and Responsibilities of a Flight Dispatcher

• To authorize, regulate, control and terminate aircraft flights in accordance with company and governmental regulations and policies to ensure safety
• To be responsible for the economics, operational control and passenger service requirements for daily flight operations.
• To review and evaluate weather information to determine potential flight safety hazards and to select the preferred and most economical route of flight.
• To compute the amount of fuel required, distance of flight, maintenance limitations, weather conditions and other factors affecting safety of flight using company and established guidelines.
• To prepare flight plans with information including allowable takeoff and landing weights, weather reports, field conditions, METAR’s, TAF’s, NOTAM’s, PIREPs and other information required for the safe completion of the flight.
• To prepare and sign dispatch release which is a legal document providing authorization for the flight to depart and is authorized by the DGCA to delay, divert, or cancel flight if unsafe conditions pose a threat to the safety of the aircraft, passengers, cargo or flight.
• To monitor weather conditions, aircraft positions reports, aeronautical navigation charts and aircraft radio calls to evaluate the progress and safety of the flight.
• To advice the pilot in command of significant changes to weather or the flight plan and recommends changes as required for the continued safe operation of the flight.
• To assist the pilot in command of an aircraft with an emergency situation by providing any assistance necessary to ensure safe completion of the flight.
