Dhaka : Wings Fly Aviation and Career Development Academy is providing the country's travel sector with expert and skilled personnel. Aged less than a year, the academy, in a short time, successfully trained eight batches of students on air ticketing and reservation as well as visa processing, with the ninth batch currently enrolled.
Ferdous Ahmed, Chairman of Wings Fly Aviation and Career Development Academy, said this while talking to The Bangladesh Monitor at his campus premise in the capital's Banasree area recently.
With 22 students in each batch, so far, 300 students have graduated from the academy. All of the students who have graduated are either currently working at reputed companies in the travel trade sector or have established themselves as entrepreneurs with their own travel agencies.
Since the academy has an IATA accredited agency on the sidelines named Wings Fly Tours and Travels, students can take IDs from the agency after graduation and run their own agency as entrepreneurs.
Both the courses are two-months long.
