Thailand Partners With Industry in MRO Training Pact
Airbus leads a group of four companies that aim to nearly double the country’s output of aviation technicians.

Thailand’s Ministry of Transport is pursuing collaboration with four foreign partners—Airbus, Triumph Aviation Services Asia, Triumph Structures (Thailand), and Senior Aerospace (Thailand)—in a bid to boost its aviation maintenance workforce and expand its MRO capabilities to cater to Asia’s aircraft boom. The aerospace companies will launch four training courses in the areas of aircraft maintenance, aviation structural mechanics, ground equipment maintenance, and aviation communications, with a goal to produce 350 technicians annually by 2021. Thailand’s training capacity remains limited; it produces only some 180 aviation technicians yearly.
