Twenty-six Tamkeen-sponsored students of Bahrain Aircraft Engineering Training Centre (BAETC) are set to join Gulf Air on February 1 as part of the mandatory maintenance experience necessary prior to submitting their applications for Aircraft Maintenance Engineers’ Licenses.

They follow an earlier batch of twenty-five students who joined Gulf Air in February 2009.

Another four Tamkeen-sponsored students were selected to join HAECO, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Swire Group of Companies and the maintenance provider for Bahrain Air.

Several other students, both those who have been sponsored and others who are self-sponsored, are currently in different phases of their training or in the process of acquiring their maintenance experience in other organisations, such as BAS line maintenance, Samena Avionics , DHL Bahrain and Airlift Bahrain.

The BD1 million state-of-the-art training facility is run by Bahrain Airport Services. – TradeArabia News Service
