Aircraft Academy, a Vallair Group company and provider of aviation training solutions, has received formal approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to offer EASA Part 66 training and examinations.<\/p>\n

The certification enables Aircraft Academy, which is already a Part-147 training facility, to deliver comprehensive training and assessment services for aircraft maintenance engineers across multiple categories.<\/p>\n

The EASA Part 66 certification is an internationally recognised standard that ensures the highest levels of competence and compliance for licensed aircraft maintenance engineers.<\/p>\n

With this approval, which was announced during the Paris Air Show 2025, Aircraft Academy can now provide theoretical and practical training, as well as conduct approved examinations in accordance with EASA\u2019s rigorous standards.<\/p>\n

Armel Jezequel, chief executive of Aircraft Academy, said: “This approval not only validates the quality and integrity of our training programmes, but it also enables us to contribute directly to the development of highly skilled professionals within the global aviation maintenance community.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder Part 66, our training will include categories such Category B1 (Mechanical), and Category B2 (Avionics), among others. The training programmes are designed to meet the evolving needs of the aviation industry and support both aspiring and current engineers in attaining their professional goals.”<\/p>\n

Jezequel added: \u201cWe are experiencing huge demand from all over the world for aircraft mechanic training. Students from as far away as the Philippines and India are joining their European colleagues of all ages to attain qualifications or upskill to new aircraft\/engine types.”<\/p>\n

Being part of the Vallair Group, Aircraft Academy<\/a> is able to provide practical training experience on-site at Vallair\u2019s MRO hangars in Ch\u00e2teauroux and Montpellier in France.<\/p>\n
