SriLankan Aviation College hailed IATA ATC top performer for 2024

SriLankan Airlines’ training centre SriLankan Aviation College was recently hailed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) as an IATA Authorized Training Center (ATC) Top Performer for 2024.

This distinction is awarded to the most outstanding IATA-accredited training institutions worldwide, and advances SriLankan Aviation College into the Preferred ATC category.

This is proof of SriLankan Airlines’ relentless commitment to excellence in developing talent for the travel trade on a global scale.

Airline chief executive Richard Nuttall remarked: “We are truly humbled to be recognised as a top performing IATA Authorized Training Center. It speaks volumes about how much effort the college puts into offering high quality job-ready programmes led by top-tier instructors, blending real-world knowledge and practical sessions.”

Nuttall added that the SriLankan Aviation College has made remarkable progress over the past two years, especially with the aviation industry fully returning to pre-pandemic levels throughout 2024.

Bringing the best the world has to offer to Sri Lanka

Over the years, SriLankan Aviation College has introduced some of the most sought-after IATA programmes to Sri Lanka, including the IATA Foundation in Travel and Tourism Diploma; IATA Cargo Introductory Course; and the IATA Airline Cabin Crew course, among many others. 

Whether in the quality of training, state-of-the-art facilities or talent incubation, SriLankan Aviation College has consistently produced the best results in the island across all IATA programmes over the years, in line with its mission of developing the right talent for the aviation industry.

The ATC accreditation also symbolises the longstanding partnership and credibility that SriLankan Aviation College built with IATA Training. 

The institution’s other achievements include being an IATA Approved Training Center since inception, being recognised as an IATA Top Performing Training Center for several consecutive years and being the only IATA Regional Training Partner in Sri Lanka, and among the few in the region.
