The Academy College learning institute in Bloomington, Minnesota has launched a Charter Flight Coordinator Course, a two week, 40 hour intensive online course designed for members of the charter industry, specifically charter flight followers and non-certified flight operation representatives, to achieve certification as a charter flight coordinator.

The course focuses strategically on the day-to-day aspect of Part 135 operations, covering a multitude of aircraft types, air charter regulatory compliance and the charter sales process, as well as addressing how to accelerate growth in charter operations.

“We are incredibly excited about the opportunity to provide this course to charter operators,” says president Nancy Grazzini-Olson. “Paired with our aircraft dispatcher experience, we are confident of the value this course will create.”

“Based on industry feedback, we see the need for quality and timely training for charter coordinators to gain an understanding of the full scope and daily demands of this crucial position,” says NATA senior vice president Ryan Waguespack. “As workforce retention and recruitment are top of mind for the aviation business industry, we look forward to the advantages programmes like these will bring to individuals and businesses.”
