İGA Academy expands to Africa: training support for 15 countries

İGA Academy, the training arm of Istanbul Airport operator İGA, delivered a five-day free capacity-building program to 20 aviation professionals representing 18 airports and institutions across 15 African countries, in partnership with ACI Africa, the Africa region of the Airports Council International. The program is part of İGA Academy's push to extend its global aviation training footprint into Africa and add value to its wider ecosystem. The initiative matters because it positions Istanbul Airport as an exporter of aviation know-how and deepens ties with African airport operators, a fast-growing aviation market. Details on the financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed. What to watch next is whether İGA Academy converts the program into recurring training contracts or broader commercial partnerships with African airports.
