Choosing a career in aviation is more than just an aspiration, it is a commitment to excellence, discipline, and lifelong learning. Aviation professionals play a critical role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and advancement of global air transport. With increasing demand for skilled pilots and aviation specialists, it is essential for aspirants to equip themselves not only with flying proficiency but also with strong academic credentials that enhance their career prospects both in the cockpit and beyond.
As pilots progress in their careers, they acquire highly specialized and technical skills. However, for a long time, there was no suitable University Degree Programme that adequately reflected their professional expertise and provided a bridge to further academic or administrative opportunities.
To address this critical gap, the Federation of Indian Pilots established the Institute of Aviation and Aviation Safety (IAAS) in 2002. IAAS became the first institute in Mumbai to be affiliated with the esteemed University of Mumbai for awarding the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Aviation degree.
This degree not only adds academic value but also enables pilots to pursue postgraduate studies, gain eligibility for advanced roles in aviation management, regulatory affairs, training, and safety oversight—thereby contributing to professional excellence and career longevity.
Over the past two decades, IAAS has built a legacy of trust, quality, and performance. With its experienced faculty, structured university-approved curriculum, and strong industry connect, IAAS continues to serve as a premier platform for aspiring pilots and aviation professionals to launch and build their careers with confidence.
For those looking to step into the world of aviation with a solid academic foundation, IAAS remains the preferred choice.“

An Introduction
The Institute of Aviation and Aviation Safety (IAAS) was constituted under the aegis of the Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) which was founded in 1996. The FIP is a non-political advisory specialist body, structured to provide a democratic forum for evolving and promoting professional viewpoints, with in the aviation fraternity to attain the highest level of aviation safety The IAAS, its Educational Wing, commenced its activities later in the same year & was granted affiliation in June 2002.
In terms of state-of-the-aircraft, avionics and allied equipment, Indian Civil Aviation is at par, if not at a higher level, than that in any other developed country. It is recognized worldwide that Indian Pilots are second to none, inspite of the fact that they have not had any formal education towards basic university degree course. It is widely acknowledged that a majority of these professionals specialize in specific areas of operation and attain proficiency in an environment that demands far higher standards and more rigorous training than in most other professions. A formal degree is not only beneficial in equipping a person in terms of aviation skills but also broadens ones perspective in the field of specialization and management.
As of now, piliots and flight supporting services personnel have been exposed to a much more rigorous hands-on knowledge and experience than persons pursuing a normal professional educational programme. Introduction of this degree course will provide the appropriate scientific background in terms of quality and content so essential to an advisor for his/her ail round development. Furthermore, a basic degree will open the portals for post graduation leading to greater enhancement of scientific skills, not to speak of the potential that this will create for research and generation of knowledge. This in turn would lead to greater professional excelence.
The Advantage
The IAAS has been established to give an aspiring airline pilot a distinct advantage:
An Aviation Degree with a comprehensive University education. This long overdue initiative is to provide a pilot with the added opportunity of creating an academic platform to pursue higher studies and quip him / her to transition automatically into higher Management levels during the progression of an exacting career.
The IAAS’s B.Sc. (Aviation) Degree is one of the first degree courses that uses state-of-the-art e-Learning and Computer Managed Instruction technologies as mainstay teaching and training aids. “Interactive Multimedia Content” is the most important ingredient to ensure that the complex subjects associated with aviation and aeronautical training are taught to the students effectively. Interactive Multimedia Content ensures that Instructors can elucidate the subject matter in a much better way, compared to conventional teaching and training aids, thereby enhancing understanding, assimilation and retention by students. It also supports a Testing Assessment And Grading System (TAGS).
