Deutsche Aircraft and AERO-Bildung Sign Maintenance Training Partnership

Deutsche Aircraft, a new purpose-driven German aircraft Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and AERO-Bildung, the aviation training centre of Bavaria, have signed a cooperation agreement to jointly train future aviation mechanics.

This is the first time that Deutsche Aircraft is offering vocational training. It is part of an integrated recruitment strategy that supports the growth and ambition of the company. The first cohort will enrol four students and is expected to start in September 2022. Applications will open in October 2021.

During a 42-month timeframe, trainees will learn the basics of the work as aircraft mechanics at the AERO-Bildung facilities and will test their newly acquired knowledge on aircraft at Deutsche Aircraft nearby Munich.

Upon graduation, outstanding trainees will have the opportunity to start their career within Deutsche Aircraft, either at Oberpfaffenhofen or at the Final Assembly Line in Leipzig.

“The start of this vocational training programme is part of a long-term growth strategy for Deutsche Aircraft. It also supports our regional strategy as it will help strengthen the connection between our two German sites in Oberpfaffenhofen and Leipzig. During this programme, students will learn the ins and outs of the business of aircraft mechanics and will test their newly acquired knowledge on state-of-the-art aircraft. We are looking forward to welcome them and to enrich our team with a youthful spirit” said Dave Jackson, CEO of Deutsche Aircraft.
