Why More Ground Handlers Are Choosing Subscription-Based eLearning in 2026


In today’s aviation environment, operational efficiency is essential. Ground handling organisations are under constant pressure to:

  • Control costs

  • Maintain regulatory compliance

  • Reduce training time

  • Onboard new staff faster

  • Ensure standardised training across multiple stations


At Airport College International, our subscription-based eLearning model was designed precisely to solve these challenges.

Training That Follows ICAO & IATA Standards

All our online courses are developed in accordance with leading aviation authorities such as ICAO and IATA.

Airport College International has been certified by the ASA World ATAP Accreditation. This recognition confirms through an independent auditor that our training, internal systems, and processes meet the highest international standards defined by IATA AHM 1110 Ground Operations Training Programme. This is to ensure our content:

  • Reflects current operational reality

  • Aligns with industry manuals and standards

  • Is continuously updated and audited


Your teams receive training that is compliant, relevant, and always current.

 

Why Subscription Makes Strategic Sense

Our subscription model simplifies everything.

1. Predictable & Flexible Pricing

  • Your monthly fee is based on your total number of employees, not course usage

  • If one employee leaves and another joins, your fee remains unchanged

  • Every six months, we review the total employee count and adjust only if necessary. No surprises. No hidden costs.


This allows you to plan your annual training budget with confidence.

 

2. Access to the Course Library

All employees receive unlimited access to your selected eLearning course portfolio. This means:

  • No per-course purchase decisions

  • No usage limitations

  • No administrative bottlenecks


Your staff can train anytime, anywhere.

 

3. Significant Cost Savings

Industry studies show that eLearning can reduce training-related costs by up to 80% compared to traditional classroom training. Savings come from:

  • No instructor costs

  • No travel expenses

  • No classroom logistics

  • Reduced time away from operations


Better training at a lower total cost.

 

What Is Included in the Subscription?

Our subscription solution includes:

  • Unlimited user access

  • Over 50 ready-to-use eLearning courses

  • Courses available in multiple languages (including English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Finnish, French, Spanish, and Swedish)

  • Certificates for completed courses

  • A dedicated, company-branded Training Portal (TP)

  • Access to our Training Management System (TMS) for full training records

  • Continuous course updates aligned with latest regulations


Everything is covered by one flat monthly fee, invoiced monthly.

 

Built to Scale With Operations

The aviation industry is dynamic. Staff numbers fluctuate. Contracts change. New stations open.


With a subscription model, you can:

  • Onboard new employees immediately

  • Standardise training across multiple stations

  • Expand training without increasing administrative workload

  • Maintain compliance across all locations


Training becomes an operational asset, not an administrative burden.
