Bahrain Airport Services (BAS) has announced that its BAS Aircraft Engineering Training Centre (BAETC) has received Part-147 approval from Kuwait’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), expanding its international accreditations and training opportunities across the region.
The
approval authorises BAETC to provide basic aircraft maintenance training for
B1.1 turbine-powered aircraft and B2 avionics, alongside approved type training
for selected Airbus aircraft, including the A320 and A330, to Kuwaiti citizens
and residents.
The
accreditation marks a step in the Centre’s regional expansion, strengthening
its presence in Kuwait and creating opportunities to work directly with
airlines and civil aviation organisations.
It
also enables BAETC to deliver specialised aircraft maintenance programmes in
line with applicable regulatory requirements and recognised industry standards.
Building
on its existing accreditation from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), the latest approval reinforces BAETC’s position as a regional provider
of aircraft engineering and maintenance training.
Kuwaiti
students and residents can access the approved programmes at the Centre’s
facilities in Bahrain.
The
training pathways aim to expand career opportunities for graduates in Kuwait,
Bahrain and international markets.
Upon
meeting the relevant requirements, graduates can pursue positions with airlines
and aircraft maintenance and engineering organisations, helping address the
aviation industry’s demand for qualified technical professionals.
The
accreditation also supports the development of national and regional talent
while strengthening technical training cooperation between Bahrain and Kuwait.
Through
its expanding training programmes and international accreditations, BAETC aims
to contribute to workforce development and support the long-term growth of the
regional aviation sector. -TradeArabia News Service
