The aviation industry is really very vast branch which consists a lot of different fields. Ground operations are one among them. To work as a ground operator in ant airport, you don't need to be much qualified, a recognized Diploma in this field will work much better. Such Diploma is provided by Essense learning, Bangalore. The fee is also minimal approximately 55,000/-. Here faculties are also experienced and have past experience for ground operations in the airport. Hope this helps. Good luck.
