Airport Operations | IATS Aviation College


IATS Aviation College, made its humble beginning in June 1996 at ADOOR, a bustling town in God's own country. We have started our prestigious training centre in THIRUVANANTHAPURAM in 2013 and our COCHIN centre was inaugurated in 2014.

IATA Aviation College

In a short span of time, IATS 
Aviation College Aviation College has carved a name for itself in the travel arena by producing professionals of excellent calibre. Job potential in both Airports and Airlines has increased in recent decades. 




Mastering of communication skills, specialized training by Airline industry professionals and imparting efficient training programmes in travel formalities are the hallmarks of IATS Aviation College education. 

Airport Operations

In a rapidly changing environment, airports have to adapt to economic downturns, technological changes, market changes, airline commercial deregulation, and the worldwide trend to convert airports from government organizations to more business-like entities. These pressures have or have had or are having significant effects on the way airports do business, not only from a financial perspective but also from an operational standpoint.

Airport Operations

In these challenging times, and with emerging competition from other airports and other modes of transportation, it is of the utmost importance that airports recruit and provide employees and managers with the best available knowledge and skills. This course was prepared to provide you with a solid overview of the airport operations field and with tools to apply your knowledge and skills to your airport. It is designed to be useful not only for your own benefit but also to help you make better decisions for your organization. 
Airport operations demand the highest standards of safety, reliability, efficiency and comfort. Given a continuously growing demand for air traffic, a high concentration of movements and a limited place available to handle operations, it is required to implement optimised procedures and technologies and a close connection of all stakeholders. For instance: about 75,000 people employed by more than 500 companies ensure that up to 195,000 passengers are being carried every day at Germany’s biggest hub in Frankfurt.

A Career to Airport Operations

Attending this 3-day training course will provide you with a structured and practical introduction to all multifaceted aspects of airport operations; exploring the functional elements of an airport including a detailed explanation of aircraft operations, airside and landside processes as well as other topics of interest, such as flight planning, safety, maintenance, winter service, emergency and rescue management. 
If you are new to airport management or aerodrome operations, or have worked primarily in a specialised role only, and now wish to broaden your knowledge and understanding (perhaps to 
 meet a promotion requirement), this course is a comprehensive and in depth introduction. Specifically you will learn details about: the role of the airport and each of its components in the global aviation business; how different airports meet different market needs and have different requirements; aircraft operations from start-up to shut-down; operating aircraft and Aerodromes (ADR’s) in all weather conditions, including low visibility; safety management principles and how to protect the ADR and operations from threats, including obstacles and wildlife; and, the impact airport operations can have on the environment, and how these impacts can be reduced or eliminated. 

Types of Airport Operations

  • Air Traffic Control
Air traffic control (ATC) is the task of managing aircraft movements and making sure they are safe, orderly and expeditious. At the largest airports, air traffic control is a series of highly complex operations that requires managing frequent traffic that moves in all three dimensions. A "towered" or "controlled" airport has a control tower where the air traffic controllers are based. Pilots are required to maintain two-way radio communication with the controllers, and to acknowledge and comply with their instructions. A "non-towered" airport has no operating control tower and therefore two-way radio communications are not required, though it is good operating practice for pilots to transmit their intentions on the airport's common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF) for the benefit of other aircraft in the area. 
Air Traffic Control

The CTAF may be a Universal Integrated Community (UNICOM), MULTICOM, Flight Service Station (FSS), or tower frequency. 
The majority of the world's airports are small facilities without a tower. Not all towered airports have 24/7 ATC operations. In those cases, non-towered procedures apply when the tower is not in use, such as at night. Non-towered airports come under area (en-route) control. Remote and virtual tower (RVT) is a system in which ATC is handled by controllers who are not present at the airport itself. Air traffic control responsibilities at airports are usually divided into at least two main areas: ground and tower, though a single controller may work both stations. The busiest airports may subdivide responsibilities further, with clearance delivery, apron control, and/or other specialized ATC stations.
  • Ground Control
Ground control is responsible for directing all ground traffic in designated "movement areas", except the traffic on runways. This includes planes, baggage trains, snowplows, grass cutters, fuel trucks, stair trucks, airline food trucks, conveyor belt vehicles and other vehicles. 

Ground Control

Ground Control will instruct these vehicles on which taxiways to use, which runway they will use (in the case of planes), where they will park, and when it is safe to cross runways. When a plane is ready to takeoff it will be turned over to 
Tower Control. Conversely, after a plane has landed it will depart the runway and be "handed over" from Tower to Ground Control.
  • Tower Control
Tower control is responsible for aircraft on the runway and in the controlled airspace immediately surrounding the airport. Tower controllers may use radar to locate an aircraft's position in three-dimensional space, or they may rely on pilot position reports and visual observation. 
Tower Control

They coordinate the sequencing of aircraft in the traffic pattern and direct aircraft on how to safely join and leave the circuit. Aircraft which are only passing through the airspace must also contact Tower Control in order to be sure that they remain clear of other traffic.
