One of the UK’s leading business aviation hubs has started a program to develop specific skills needed to support the recruitment of airport operations staff. Farnborough Airport and the Farnborough College of Technology yesterday launched the eight-week Airport Operations course with the intention of expanding the local skills base.

Graduates of the course will receive a professional certificate in airport operations. The curriculum covers topics such as customer service, health and safety procedures, security, and ground handling.
