Aviato Academy is the epitome of a bottom-up organization. Our entire knowledge platform and all our trainings are based on the communities inside the Airport & Aviation Industry. But the real engines behind those communities are our partners. They offer invaluable help in centralizing and developing our communities by sharing their knowledge, their experts and their trainings.
The number of partnerships within Aviato Academy grows every day. It all started with a perfect constellation of these core partners: Air Cargo Belgium, ACI, Aviato vzw, Brussels Airport Company, IATA, Logos and VOKA.
