At the end of the audit, TAV Academy has been proven to comply with the designated standards in terms of training design, presentations, competencies of the trainers and quality management system.
Barış Müstecaplıoğlu, Head of TAV Academy stated: “Becoming a global brand in airport operation business, the most important capital of TAV Airports has been its know-how and human resources. Founded to deliver the know-how of TAV to the world by developing it through institutionalization, TAV Academy has been certified to provide training all around the world by the ICAO, the main global organization of civil aviation. We are very glad that our efforts have been recognized. We are continuing our activities to make Istanbul a global training center in this sector.”
