Expressing her happiness, Ms Sapna Gupta, Director, Air Hostess Academy said, “The demand for trained human resource in the service industry is increasing at an enormous pace with the arrival of new airlines and hotels. Therefore in order to provide more employment opportunities to a large number of students across the country, we must reach as many people and places as we possibly can.”

In a similar initiative in the state of Karnataka, AHA has helped 100 students complete their course and gain meaningful employment with various prestigious organisations in the field of Aviation, Hospitality and Travel & Tourism. The purpose of this initiative is not only to train the students for employment opportunities in the growing service sector (airlines and hotels) but to also to groom them as confident individuals.
