The first batch of 10 candidates are set to begin their careers at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi, following the successful completion of a structured training programme at the AISATS Training Academy. They will be deployed across key airport functions, including Customer Service Executives, Load Control Agents, Cargo Service Agents, and Ramp Agents, marking the beginning of a new professional journey within India’s aviation sector. Prior to joining the workforce, all selected candidates underwent a rigorous classroom and practical training at the AISATS Training Academy. This training has equipped them with the technical knowledge and operational skills required for airport ground handling and customer service roles.

Through the AISATS Veer Naris initiative, AISATS is enabling Veer Naris, widows and their wards to embark on meaningful professional careers in aviation. It’s partnership with the Indian Army and the Army Welfare Placement Office (AWPO) on the Veer Naris, Widows & Their Wards initiative reflects a shared commitment to helping Indian Army families build sustainable livelihoods through skill development and structured career pathways. The AISATS Training Academy, one of India’s leading aviation skill development institutions, offers specialised programmes in ground handling. The academy combines industry-led training with placement support, helping create a skilled workforce for India’s rapidly expanding aviation sector while opening meaningful career opportunities for aspiring professionals across the country.
Speaking on the occasion Mr. Namit Baikar, Chief Human Resources Officer, AISATS said: “As a responsible organisation, it is our duty to go beyond the profits and engage in conversations that are driving meaningful change for the society at large. Veer Naris, widows and their wards have made extraordinary sacrifices for the nation, and while those sacrifices can never truly be repaid, we hope this initiative helps create opportunities for financial independence, professional growth, and a brighter future. We are grateful to the Indian Army and the Army Welfare Placement Organisation for partnering with us on this journey and look forward to expanding this initiative in the years ahead.”

Retd. Major General Ajay Singh Chauhan, Managing Director, Army Welfare Placement Organisation (AWPO), said: “Creating real employment opportunities for ex-servicemen, Veer Naris, widows and their dependents is core to what AWPO does, and partnerships like this one are exactly why that mission works. Too often, welfare initiatives stop at good intentions. What makes this collaboration with AISATS different is that it translates directly into offer letters, structured training and, eventually, a clear pathway towards meaningful future. As a new chapter, ten candidates are starting an aviation career with AISATS, and we look forward to building on this momentum and hope more organisations across industries recognise the value that Veer Naris and their wards bring to any workplace they join.”
Committed to strengthening India’s aviation talent pipeline, AISATS has continuously played a pivotal role in upskilling individuals and connecting them to meaningful careers in one of the country’s fastest-growing industries. Through this kind of industry-led skilling and structured hiring, AISATS Veer Naris initiative aims to bring more Indian Army families into the workforce, while supporting broader goals around women’s empowerment, skill development and inclusive growth. The AISATS Veer Naris initiative further strengthens AISATS’ commitment to inclusive employment, skill development and meaningful career opportunities.
