The Airbus Training Centre in Bengaluru will commence drone pilot training courses in India from June 26, offering the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)-approved course.
These courses are designed for micro and small-category drones and will meet skilling requirements for this growing industry.
Drone flying lessons will be provided via simulator training and practical flying lessons at an Airbus-approved facility in Bengaluru and Airbus' drones.
Candidates who hold a valid Indian passport and have successfully completed Class 10, and are between 18 and 65 years of age are eligible to apply for the programme. Students will be awarded a certificate from Airbus on successfully completing the course.
Laurie Alder, Head, Customer Services, Airbus India and South Asia, said the drone pilot training courses will build on Airbus’ growing presence in delivering high-quality state-of-the-art pilot and maintenance training in India. She said broadening the scope into drone training demonstrated Airbus’ commitment to supporting the upskilling of India’s aviation infrastructure development.
“We believe that this course will provide industry-specific skills and knowledge of safe operations of drones to aspiring drone pilots in the country, which will help them develop their career in this rapidly growing industry,” she added.
