Bombardier’s London Biggin Hill service center is about two months into its first 36-month aircraft maintenance apprenticeship program that aims to create a pipeline of future maintenance techs and support the area’s economy, the Canadian airframer announced May 13. Through a combination of virtual classroom and on-site training, the 16 apprentices in the first class expect to earn EASA Part 66 modules (B license) certification and Level 4 City & Guilds Diploma in Aerospace and Aviation.
