Rapid growth and development in the aviation industry have brought the need for qualified human resources. Factors such as increasing competition, opening new lines and airports, and technological developments, especially with the liberalization in recent years, have increased the sector's need for qualified personnel.

At this point, the Faculty of Aviation and Astronautics, established within Özyeğin University in 2011, has filled a significant gap. The faculty has managed to make a name for itself in a short time with its modern education programs and curriculum tailored to the needs of the sector. In addition to intensive theoretical knowledge, faculty graduates can easily find jobs thanks to advantages such as practical training, internship opportunities, and collaborations with leading institutions in the sector.

As the Faculty of Aviation and Astronautics, we became the first faculty accredited by AABI (Aviation Accreditation Board International) in Europe and Turkey in 2021. This critical achievement means official certification that our education is at international standards.

Thanks to the accreditation we have received, we are now a faculty with validity and reputation worldwide. We aim to become a sought-after and preferred educational institution in our country and globally. In this regard, we will continue to train qualified human resources for the sector by providing quality training in accordance with international aviation standards.

Thus, we will work to meet the needs of the Turkish aviation industry and to enable our young people to build careers on a global scale. This prestigious accreditation we have achieved is a concrete indicator of the quality of education we provide and our claim at the international level. We will continue to contribute to the industry and our country by maintaining our leading role in the aviation field.
