Something New In Europe
Boeing's subsidiary, Alteon
Training, has been approved as a Maintenance Training Organization
under the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 147
regulations.
"This is a new and exciting venture for our European business",
said Andy McIntosh, regional vice president for Europe. "As the
leading provider of Boeing training, we are now fully able to
support our customers throughout the region, bringing the same
quality and commitment to customer service for which Boeing is
famous to the third-party maintenance training business."
Alteon currently offers B1 and B2 type-rating courses for the
737-600/-700/-800/-900 models and will quickly extend this
capability to cover the entire Boeing fleet. The 737-300/-400/-500,
757 and 767 models are scheduled for approval this summer with the
remaining Boeing models to follow by yearend.
In response to increasing customer demand, Airbus types will be
added in the future. "We're looking to pursue partnering agreements
with some of the world's leading maintenance and training
organizations to develop an unprecedented range of customer-focused
training solutions, ultimately offering the customer greater
choice, higher quality and better-value training solutions," said
McIntosh.
Although the approval is based at the Manchester Training Centre
in the United Kingdom, it also allows Alteon to provide
EASA-approved maintenance training at any site in its global
network of 20 training centers in 10 countries on six continents.
Alteon even can send its training experts to airline customers' own
facilities, expanding the range of customer-partnering solutions
available.
Alteon Training is the world's preferred aviation training
partner and the industry leader in providing customer-focused
aviation training solutions. The company provides customers an
expanding and integrated services portfolio that includes flight,
technical, and cabin-crew training, and training materials.
Alteon is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company within
Boeing Commercial Airplanes' Commercial Aviation Services group.
The training organization supports the world's aviation community
with more than 70 full flight simulators in 20 locations around the
world.
