BVIAA staff members who participated in the Airport Operations Diploma Programme were exposed to all the facets of activities associated with an airport from airside operations and landside to terminal operations, equipping them with key knowledge and tools necessary to proactively address the essential operational and business needs of 21st century airports.

The qualification comprises of the completion of three certificates courses: Airside Operations, Terminal and Landside Operations and Airport Business Operations. The certification enhances participants’ knowledge of overall airport operations and the delivery of world-class customer service.

It is with this at the forefront of our planning that we grow our partnership with the Airports Council International to expose our people to adaptable international best practices’’ – Kurt A.G.
