Vietnam Airport Ground Services Company Limited (VIAGS), a member of Vietnam Airlines, has received the IATA Authorised Training Centre Certificate from the International Air Transportation Association.

The IATA certificate will have global legal validity. The VIAGS courses commissioned by IATA will include category 3 dangerous goods, basic goods service, live animal service, aviation security awareness and many other courses related to aviation transport.

Under the guidance of VIAGS trainers, students register for the course and participate in the tests organised by IATA in Vietnamese territory.

With the IATA centre in Viet Nam, individuals and organisations operating in the aviation transport sector can save on learning costs compared to IATA training courses in foreign countries, while ensuring the certification of the most prestigious airline organisation in the world.

At the end of 2015, Vietnam Airlines launched VIAGS under the first professional business model in Viet Nam to unify the process, quality and efficiency in providing ground services at airports. The company currently specialises in providing services at terminals and aprons, technical service, ground trade for passengers and aircraft, and commercial services, tourism, hotels, duty-free sales at terminals. — VNS
