Partnership between Airbus and GMR to provide aircraft maintenance training in Hyderabad

Young aviation engineers will receive aircraft maintenance training from aerospace player Airbus in a partnership with GMR Group, a provider of aviation infrastructure.

The GMR School of Aviation in Hyderabad will offer an integrated Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) licensing program.

In the four-year program, students will spend two years in classroom training and two years in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) at GMR Aero Technic in Hyderabad.

A contract between Airbus and the Academy stipulates that Airbus will supply the necessary software and courseware, including trainee handbooks, assessment databases, and online access to Airbus customized basic training modules. The training and assessment of the training center will also be provided by Airbus to GMR instructors.

As a result of the partnership with GMR, India will have a significant increase in MRO capabilities more in line with the future demand for such services in the Indian aviation sector. By enhancing India’s manufacturing and services capabilities through its industrial footprint, Airbus will continue to contribute to the development of its wider aerospace ecosystem”, said Rémi Maillard, President, and Managing Director, Airbus India and South Asia.

There is a rapid evolution of the aviation ecosystem. The Indian aviation market is expected to become the largest market by 2030. There is a rapid growth in the commercial aviation fleet in the country as a result of the increase in air traffic.

There is a need for skilled professionals to meet the emerging demand and support the industry. Creating a talent pool for engineering and maintenance solutions will be a key objective of the GMR School of Aviation. It is a pleasure to partner with Airbus on this project,” said Ashok Gopinath, CEO of GMR Aerotechnic. The GMR Hyderabad International Airport hosts India’s largest integrated world-class third-party maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility.

Beginning this year, the program will be open to students who have cleared their Higher Secondary Certificate (Class 12) examination with physics and mathematics as their major subjects.
