London Luton Airport-based maintenance training organisation, The British School of Aviation (BSA), has expanded its operation, gaining UK CAA and EASA Part 147 type approval for the Airbus A320-family of aircraft.
With existing Part 147 approvals from the UK CAA (Civil Aviation Authority), EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) and HKCAD (Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department) to train engineers on Boeing 787, 737NG and MAX aircraft, the new addition sees the company’s Maintenance, Training and Examination Organisation Approval certificate amended to also incorporate Airbus A318, A319, A320 and A321 aircraft (CFM56 engines).
The company was founded in 2019 after purchasing Monarch Airlines Engineering Training Academy at London Luton Airport from the joint administrators at KPMG.
Now, it has been developed into a cutting-edge maintenance training facility, with airlines, MROs and aircraft manufacturers turning to BSA for their training requirements. With easy access to central London it offers an ideal solution for customers from around the world.
BSA’s global reach was underlined in 2022 when it gained Part 147 type approval for Boeing aircraft from HKCAD and the company is already working on adding more international type approvals in the future.
In addition, BSA has also instigated a new upskilling programme for retired and semi-retired licenced engineers looking to become Part 147 training instructors.
