Hello,Yeah, most of the salaries are on yearly basis, but these are the average starting salaries which you will be getting right after your Bachelor's/Undergrad, however these may vary based on the institutions you choose to study from. The pay packages increase with the more specialised you are i.e. your pay package will be more if you have done your Master's. Along with education, your salary will also grow with the more experience you have.  Colleges in India offering BBA in Airport Management:Flying Goose Aviation Academy, KochiSchool of Airlines and Travel Management, KochiYashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU), NashikNational College of Aviation, ChennaiAptech Aviation and Hospitality Academy, BangaloreGrand Scholar Aviation Institute, BangaloreInstitute of Logistics and Aviation Management, BangaloreSKYBIRD Aviation, BanagloreKasturi Institute of Management Studies, CoimbatoreRemo International College of Aviation, ChennaiAimfill International Institute, New DelhiDr DY Patil University, `MumbaiGalgotias University, NoidaHindustan Institute of Technology and Science, ChennaiIt will be hard to get a salary of 1 lakh per month in the very start of your career, however your salary will get better and better with the education you get and the experience you gain in this field.  I hope this answers your doubt.Do revert back if you have more queries.
