In his comments, Mr. R. Boomee Naathan, Chairman of the Chennais Amirta Group, said: “We are among the first colleges in South India to provide students with training at international airports as part of their academic journey. Our strong global collaborations and specialised infrastructure, including a real-life aircraft model and a miniature airport, enable immersive, practical learning. “While our primary focus has been providing world-class exposure to students across South India including Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana we are now expanding our reach pan-India and will soon be establishing our presence in New Delhi.”
He also emphasised the growing demand in the aviation sector, noting that 1.5–2 lakh skilled professionals will be required by 2035 across roles such as pilots, cabin crew, engineers, and ground staff.
The institution, a part of the Chennais Amirta Aviation College, offers globally recognised programs: Bachelor’s degree in aviation (3 years); B.Sc. in Air Transport, and Diploma in Aviation and Tourism Management.

The final year comprises six months of academic training at UniCAM and a six-month internship at Malaysian airports, providing students with valuable international exposure and hands-on industry experience.
In the aviation industry, International Air Transport Association (IATA) certification is widely regarded as a global passport to aviation careers.
