Business aircraft MRO provider West Star Aviation has joined the Aviation Technical Education Council (ATEC) and is now actively supporting the mission of its sister organization, Choose Aerospace.

ATEC along with Choose Aerospace are developing ways to address the aviation maintenance technician (AMT) shortage, including working with local communities to incorporate aviation maintenance into high school curriculums, West Star said.
