IATA partners with GrowNOW Group and its Air Cargo Academy at Airport Linz

The GrowNOW Group has announced their cooperation with IATA and the appointment of its Air Cargo Academy located at Airport Linz as an IATA Regional Training Partner. It will enable innovative learning methods and education on IATA Global Standards.

Since the foundation last year, the Air Cargo Academy has met with great interest in the industry. The cooperation with IATA brings additional and new competence-based training opportunities. During the courses, Linz Airport offers the unique opportunity to get to know the processes in air freight in a practical and direct manner in the air cargo warehouse and handling area.

Especially in times of crisis, the importance of air cargo transport increases and represents vital, efficient and effective supply chains. This will also be reflected in an increased need for learning and training in air cargo in the entire German-speaking area over the coming years.

Roland Zistler, managing director of GrowNOW Group said, “We are proud of the cooperation with IATA and the nomination as IATA Regional Training Partner. Our partnership offers students new, additional, highest quality education and growth opportunities with innovative and practice-related learning concepts, developed especially for the air logistics and shippers industry.”

Norbert Draskovits, managing director of Linz Airport said, “Over the years we have developed into Austria's largest, regional cargo airport and we score with our customers with flexibility and high service quality. We are very happy about the cooperation in the training area with the GrowNOW Group and the nomination of the Air Cargo Academy as IATA Regional Training Partner. This underscores the importance and competence of Linz Airport in terms of air freight.”
