Connecticut-based Global Jet Services (Stand 674) has partnered with the UK’s Gama Aviation to provide aviation maintenance and professional development training in a tie-up announced in November.
 A leading on-location training services provider out of Avon, Connecticut, Global Jet Services said the partnership would present B1 and B2 theoretical and practical courses for aircraft types from Dassault, Gulfstream, Bombardier, BAe and Hawker-Beechcraft/Textron to a receptive EASA-compliant MRO audience.
 “Both organizations show strong signs of capitalizing on business growth opportunities in the European and larger, global aviation maintenance training markets,” it said.
 Training courses, to be held at Gama Aviation’s facility at Fairoaks, Surrey, located midway between Heathrow and Farnborough airports, are to begin in January 2017. The EASA part 147 B1 and B2 theoretical and practical schedule at Fairoaks will point up differences in the course-work offered by EASA and that by the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).
 “All practical courses are fully compliant with EASA Part 66, appendix III requirements, and cover a broad cross-section of task types and complexity levels,” Global Jet said.
