This article applied the methods of lesson learned and experiential learning to analyze lessons learned from the capacity development seminar activities under the Krirk Aviation Seminar Project 2024, organized by the Aviation Business Management Program, Faculty of Business Administration, Krirk University. The project aimed to promote essential competencies for the aviation profession through experiential learning processes. It emphasized learner participation in every step of the seminar organization based on relevant academic and professional principles, concepts, and theories.

          The lessons learned revealed that the key components of effective capacity development through seminar activities include systematic planning and preparation, as well as the design of diverse seminar formats, both on-campus and off-campus. These formats included guest speaker seminars and integrated sessions such as academic seminars, workshop seminars, and social engagement seminars. These activities contributed to the holistic development of learners and were designed in accordance with the principles of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), aiming to enhance the competencies of graduates to enter the aviation industry with international standards and quality.
