Sri Lanka to launch first-ever Piloting Degree

Details Published on Tuesday, 27 December 2011 12:53 Hits: 954

Gateway Graduate School - Sri Lanka’s leading private educational establishment is to sign contracts with a United Kingdom-based university in February to offer air travel degree with pilot training. The aviation degree will be the first in Sri Lanka.

With the introduction of Sri Lanka’s first-ever air travel degree programme obtaining academic qualifications in piloting will become much more affordable for students. Many Sri Lankan students go for countries like UK, US, Malaysia and Singapore to pursue highly expensive air travel degrees and pilot training programmes. This will help to reduce the foreign exchange drain to other countries and will attract foreign students to Sri Lanka as well. Also the students will be able to complete their degree programme in the given period of time, as the weather of the country will not be a hindrance for pilot training like in other countries. According to Head of Gateway Graduate School, Michael Dobson there are already seven Sri Lankan students who have enrolled for the degree programme, which is scheduled to commence in September 2012.

The air travel school, which is planned to be set up in Ratmalana is funded jointly by the university and the Gateway Graduate School at the initial stage. The school has plans of providing accommodation to foreign students at an affordable price compared to other countries.

Airlines in the European Union (EU) are beginning to recruit aircrew that holds degrees while German airline Lufthansa has already commenced enrolling recruits giving priority to those who have air travel degrees. Therefore launching the air travel degree is timely, in answering a demand from the aviation industry.

With the opening of Sri Lanka’s second international airport in Udamattala, Hambantota for commercial operations, it will create tremendous opportunities and open up many spheres to uplift the industry and to boost up the country’s economy while becoming a mega-regional aviation hub in Asia.
