From Student to Sky: Success Stories of IAAS Alumni
At the Institute of Aviation and Aviation Safety (IAAS), we believe your career doesn’t start after graduation—it begins the moment you step into our classrooms. Over the years, our students have taken flight, both literally and figuratively, transforming their B.Sc. Aviation degrees into impactful careers in aviation.
Here are some inspiring success stories of IAAS alumni who made it from our Goregaon campus to airline cockpits, aviation boards, and beyond.
✈️ Capt. Rohan Mehta – First Officer at Indigo Airlines
“IAAS gave me the best academic base for clearing my DGCA exams. The structured curriculum and mentorship from pilot faculty made learning so much more relevant. My lateral entry after CPL saved me time and gave me dual qualifications.”
Rohan completed his CPL before joining IAAS directly in the second year. Today, he flies Airbus A320s for one of India’s largest airlines and mentors new student pilots in his free time.
✈️ Smt. Shraddha Nair – ATC Officer, Mumbai International Airport
“I was fascinated by aviation, but not interested in flying. IAAS helped me realize that the skies need more than just pilots. The B.Sc. Aviation course opened doors to ATC, airport management, and even safety regulations.”
Shraddha is now part of the team responsible for air traffic control at CSMIA and a recognized voice in aviation safety panels.
✈️ Capt. Sandeep Verma – DGCA Instructor & Flight Examiner
“As a commercial pilot, I always wanted to back my flying with an academic degree. IAAS’s affiliation with the University of Mumbai made it possible for me to formalize my training into a recognized qualification.”
Sandeep now trains pilots across India and contributes to pilot evaluation and curriculum development for the DGCA.
