ONE YEAR ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN AVIATION LAW & AIR TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT

About the Programme

The aviation industry has always been a very unique industry in itself. Its rapid growth across the globe coupled with usage of the best and the most innovative technologies and increasing contribution to the economic and infrastructural development of a country makes the international aviation sector particularly important from both legal as well as management perspective.

Legal and Management aspects of International Aviation are so well interconnected that the study of one aspect was incomplete without the study of the other. Thus NALSAR through its Centre for Aerospace & Defence Laws (CADL) proposes to offer Advanced Diploma in Aviation Law & Air Transport Management.

Through this program NALSAR aims to create an industry of aviation lawyers catering and specializing in both legal and management aspects of international aviation law. Our course participants would not only have a sound and strong foundation on legal and management patterns of international aviation sector but also will be well-equipped to handle practical and contemporary aspects and challenges faced in the daily governance of the aviation industry.

The curriculum of the programme is a tailor-made to meet the professional needs of the aviation industry which includes airport, airline, aerospace and related sectors so that the trained professionals are in a position to directly take on the core legal-cum-managerial positions in any of these sectors. A lawyer who is traditionally who has been endowed with rational mind can perform the multiple role in the form of an aviation professional who can serve in the capacities of aviation lawyer, manager and technical support. Similarly, a manager who is endowed with analytical ability is now in a position to function at a higher lever with a greater competence by acquiring the specific knowledge of the rules of the game – Aviation Law.

The unique advantage of the above programme is the comprehensive understanding of the aviation industry which would include its operational aspects, legal management and technical knowledge with a special focus on catering to the contemporary requirements of the aerospace industry.

The programme also aims to meet the needs of personnel currently involved in the aviation industry or students of aviation who wish to upgrade their skills at tertiary level in the field of management in air transportation and application of aviation law. In addition, the program is designed to have considerable application for personnel in related technologically based service and business industries.
