Why Choose this program

The Diploma in Airport Technical Operations & Aviation Management (TWA-006) is designed exclusively for B.Tech Aeronautical, Aerospace, Mechanical, and Electronics Engineering graduates who want to transition from academic engineering into high-value airport operations, dispatch, and aviation management roles.

This is the only Tigers Wings programme that assumes an engineering foundation and builds directly on it – skipping all basic engineering content and connecting graduates’ technical knowledge directly to aerodrome certification, airfield maintenance management, MEL dispatch, ETOPS engineering context, and aviation project management.

Frequently asked questions

Why is TWA-006 specifically designed for B.Tech engineers?
Most aviation operations courses target 12th-pass students. TWA-006 is designed for engineers who already understand aerodynamics, structures, and systems — and want to use that knowledge to enter high-value airport operations, OCC, or dispatch roles. The curriculum skips engineering basics and goes directly into how technical knowledge applies in operational management contexts — aerodrome certification, airfield maintenance systems, MEL dispatch, ETOPS engineering, and aviation project management.
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering and Electronics/Avionics graduates are also welcome. The curriculum has been designed to be accessible to engineers from adjacent disciplines — the aviation-specific systems (hydraulics, pneumatics, avionics) are covered at the right depth for Mechanical and Electronics backgrounds. Aeronautical Engineering graduates will find the programme most immediately applicable, but other engineering streams are equally valued by aviation employers.
Students design a technical operations improvement plan for a given airport scenario — identifying airfield maintenance gaps, recommending GSE procurement, improving turnaround performance, or designing an airside safety enhancement. The project is assessed by trainer and guest industry evaluators, and is the primary portfolio piece students present during aviation management job interviews.
B.Tech graduates entering aviation operations roles after TWA-006 typically earn ₹25,000–₹45,000 per month at entry level — significantly higher than non-engineering peers in the same roles. OCC and dispatch positions at major airlines like IndiGo and Air India typically offer ₹35,000–₹60,000 for engineering-qualified candidates. The combination of a B.Tech degree and the TWA-006 diploma positions graduates for faster progression to supervisor and management levels within 2–3 years.

We are a premier aviation training institute dedicated to shaping the next generation of industry leaders. With over two decades of experience, we provide an unparalleled educational experience designed for ambition.
