Cargo Management

The Aviation sector has been providing numerous job opportunities to graduates in India. In the past, in case of India, there weren't many courses that focused on the aviation sector and groomed students to take on roles in that sector. Usually, Graduates of any discipline used to apply for aviation jobs. They used to get trained after they were selected after an interview. At present, things have changed! There are many aviation sector oriented courses present, which cater to the needs of the aviation Industry! In this article, I will list some of the best Aviation field related courses, which students may pursue after finishing their class 12th schooling.
BBA course: It is a 3 year long Undergraduate management program. The good news is that many BBA programs allow students to specialize in certain area/discipline. In our case, it is a program that focuses on the running and management of an Airport. If one is keen on improving ones qualifications, then he/she may also go for an MBA Degree after completing this BBA program.
Diploma course lasts for 1 year and focuses solely on the area of Airport Management. While it does a better job in dealing with the technical details, when compared to BBA program, I must also admit that this Diploma Degree doesn't possess as much value as the BBA program does. A good way to solve this problem is by going for a Post Graduate Diploma in Airport Management after finishing any Graduation course.

Air cargo handlers work at airports loading and unloading baggage. These workers require little education and usually receive on-the-job training. The outlook is for these jobs to grow slower than average. Air cargo handlers specialize in loading, staging, securing and unloading cargo and baggage on airplanes. To accurately perform their duties, they must calculate the aircraft's center of gravity and assess the quantity of cargo. Air cargo handlers work in all weather conditions and operate a variety of equipment, including trucks, forklifts, conveyors and baggage tugs.
Loaded cargo can include luggage, mail sacks, and animals. Training occurs on the job, so air cargo handlers only need to have a graduation/post-graduation from Aviation school. Other helpful assets include interpersonal, problem solving, organizational and communication skills. Air cargo handlers must be able to multitask in order to effectively and safely transport goods from one place to another. Experience driving a forklift proves to be beneficial in this position.
