Swiss Company Expands Into Aviation Education And Training
AMAC Aerospace is launching a training academy for aircraft mechanics at its Basel headquarters, with the first intake of students scheduled for January 2027. The AMAC Academy will operate within the company’s existing facilities at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, offering a program that meets EASA Part-147 and Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation standards. The training will prepare students for the EASA Part-66 Basic License and includes hands-on experience within AMAC Aerospace’s maintenance environment. This development follows a broader industry trend of MRO providers establishing their own training programs to address the shortage of qualified aircraft mechanics, as reported by AeroTime.
