CAI’s Training Consulting & Customised Training
Succcess Story
KING FAHD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
CAI conducted a multi-year employee development programme for King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
As a leading airport management consulting firm, CAI’s programme was focussed on creating and growing human capital to support the transformation, commercialisation, and corporatisation of KFIA into a best-in-class international airport.
The employee development programme comprised several parts.
The Future Leaders Programme was a customised airport professional development programme conducted in Singapore, for high potential employees earmarked to be the next generation of leaders at KFIA. Graduates of the programme identified for senior positions continued with the Advanced Future Leaders Programme.
Senior management and middle level managers attended programmes focussed on areas such as leadership, management, airport operations and airport service quality.
General staff were also trained onsite on the knowledge and skills required to support the business.
CAI conducted over 9,000 training days (man-days) for KFIA in total. Through training and development, as well as knowledge transfer initiatives, KFIA management and employees are better placed to grow, support and organise the business.
CHINESE AIRPORTS
CAI has been running similar training courses for Chinese airports in the last 20 years as part of its airport consultancy services.
The CAI team has been developing customised courses targeted at senior and mid-level airport professionals, to enable them to achieve sustainable business results in areas such as traffic development, service quality, commercial development, and operational efficiency.
For the past three years, CAI conducted over 1,300 training days (man-days) for airports in cities such as Chongqing, Changsha, Qingdao and Shenzhen.
CAI also provides specialised training to Chinese aviation personnel through the China-Singapore Airport Management Academy (CSAMA), jointly established with Xiamen International Airport Group in 2003.
CSAMA, in conjunction with Singapore’s Nanyang Technical University (NTU), inaugurated the China Airports CEO Programme in 2012. The course covered diverse topics such as network economy and strategic competencies to equip the highest level of officials in Chinese airports with the best-in-class airport management expertise.
