The Air Charter Association (ACA) held the second installment of its in-person Air Charter Broker Qualification training on February 9 with 36 delegates attending and a pass rate of 94 percent achieved among them. It’s the first in-person Level 2 course held by ACA after the qualification training was postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Level 2 course is one of three courses required for aviation professionals to achieve the Qualified Air Charter Broker designation.
In a break from the norm, the Level 2 course was held at the Harrods Aviation FBO lounge. The location allowed delegates an “airside experience” with tours of Titan Airways’ engineering hangar, cargo aircraft, and a recently delivered all-business-class Airbus A321neo. Delegates also were introduced to aircraft handling equipment and the capabilities of Harrods' private terminal.
“It was a refreshing change to get out of the traditional classroom and office environments, to enable our attendees to see first-hand how flights are operated behind the scenes, what happens at the airport, FBO, and in-flight operations,” said ACA deputy chair and course co-presenter Julie Black. “It was a great introduction to the next level in our Air Charter Broker Qualification and I am really looking forward to seeing delegates complete our Level 3 course in April to gain their full qualification.”
