Our Story
Best Cabin Crew/ Airport Training & Placement Academy in Asia
Founded by Hilary Miranda and Chong Siew Fong in 2011. Inter Excel Tourism Academy (IETA) took over all training programs and short courses that had been initiated since 1995. Their vision was to provide potential aviation personnel and cabin crew the opportunity to experience a life-changing experience to enhance their chances of success. Building their footprint and pioneering the field since 1995, Inter Excel has grown from humble beginnings to become the most sought-after expert in aviation training and crew placement. Today, it continues to be the market leader in Asia. Our academy is the longest-established cabin crew preparatory academy in Asia. We have trained thousands of students who are now flying for leading international airlines.
Inter- Excel Group (IEG) established itself as a Flight Attendant Preparatory Training centre in 1993. With the launch of its trademark Flight Attendant Preparatory Course (FAPC), it quickly developed into a regional pioneer in the Asia Pacific region. We are the #1 pioneer cabin crew school to this day.
Since its inception, IEG has trained and produced thousands of world class cabin crew as well as airport personnel for the world’s leading airlines and airport operators. We have embarked on producing young professionals to excel in the service-oriented industry.
