Dear Friends,

Welcome to the web site of the Aviation Management College, the only college in Malaysia providing specialised aviation management courses.  Indeed, all of our diploma courses are approved by the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) and the Ministry of Higher Education.

The aviation industry in Malaysia is growing, in line with the rapid growth of the economies of Malaysia and the nearby regions, especially China and India.   The beauty about the aviation industry is that the nation can earn its income while the aircrafts fly around the world. So the classical economic philosophy which contributes factors of production to land and people does not hold water anymore.  Many of the world’s airlines workers are multinationals.   The greatest challenges facing the industry such as the rising fuel cost and intense competition have also necessitated the industry to have workers with the relevant knowledge and management skill,  who could then lead the industry with more efficiency and innovativeness.

People like to travel no matter what the economic situation is, and Air Asia has proven this when in November 14, 2009, at the peak of the world recession, it sold 900,000 seats in just two days!  As Claude Grahame-White, the pioneer English aviator who commercialised aeronautics, said in 1914 “First Europe, and then the globe, will be linked by flight, and nations so knit together that they will grow to be next-door neighbours.What railways have done for nations, airways will do for the world”.

The civil aviation industry is generally divided into several major sectors such as manufacturing of aircrafts; managing of airlines, air couriers, airports, helicopters and general aviation; together the other ancillary services such as maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of aircrafts, managing the navigational aid system and the air traffic control, in-flight food caterings, hotels, and retail stores at the airports and not to mention, another large industry – tourism.   All these would translate easily into RM 6 trillion per annum economy worldwide!  This is the magnitude of the job opportunities for our graduates.

Why, in an effort to make Malaysia as the global aerospace hub, on 21 Dec 09, the Prime Minister of Malaysia even announced some incentives of tax holidays of 100% of the statutory income for up to  15 years to certain aviation sectors in Malaysia.  This will see even further growth of the aviation industry to greater heights with the influx of direct foreign investments!

Our students will be able to appreciate all these facts by the time they leave the College for their entry into the world of aviation.    What more, they would be able to contribute to one of the nation’s most important industries. 
Enjoy your surfing and please do call us if you have any queries.  We would be more than delighted to hear from you.

Warm regards and happy landings.
