FAQ's
What does Star Aviation Academy cost?

That totals Rs.5,50,000. Books and uniform are charged as actual, and the two-month airline training with GMR, IndiGo or Air Works is also billed as actual, so budget above the Rs.5,50,000.
What does the hostel cost?
Rs.1,92,500 for 22 months, payable in four equal instalments of Rs.48,125.
What does 'as actual' mean on the fee sheet?
It means you pay the real expense incurred rather than a fixed published amount, so the final figure is not knowable upfront. Ask for the actual amounts charged to the last two batches for books, uniform and airline training before you commit.
Is Star Aviation DGCA approved?
Yes. The academy was established in 2005 and received DGCA approval in July 2006 under CAR-147 (Basic). It states its training also follows EASA and ICAO norms - note those are reference standards here, not separate licences.

With Air India Engineering Services Limited, GMR Aero, IndiGo and Air Works India, including work on Airbus A320 aircraft. That is a strong partner panel; confirm which one your batch is allocated to and for how long.

The academy advertises 95% placements in 2024-25 and 100% placement assistance, listing 15+ recruiters across airlines and MROs. Placement assistance and a placement rate are different things - ask for the batch-wise breakdown behind the 95% figure.
