Aircraft Academy, a Vallair Group company and a prominent 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. This significant certification enables Aircraft Academy – already an approved EASA Part-147 training organisation – to deliver comprehensive training and assessment services for aircraft maintenance engineers across multiple categories.
The EASA Part 66 certification is an internationally recognised standard, ensuring the highest levels of competence and regulatory compliance for licensed aircraft maintenance engineers. With this latest approval, Aircraft Academy is now authorised to deliver both theoretical and practical training, along with conducting approved examinations in line with EASA’s stringent requirements.
Training under EASA Part 66 will include key categories such as Category B1 (mechanical) and Category B2 (Aaionics), 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,” said Armel Jezequel, CEO of Aircraft Academy. “We are experiencing huge demand from all over the world for aircraft mechanic training. Students from as far afield as the Philippines and India are joining their European peers of all ages to gain qualifications or upskill to new aircraft and engine types.”
The addition of EASA Part 66 approval further demonstrates Aircraft Academy’s commitment to quality, safety, and regulatory excellence in aviation education. As global demand for qualified maintenance engineers continues to grow, this new capability reinforces Aircraft Academy’s ambition to become a benchmark for excellence in the aviation training sector.
