United Airlines announced the start of operations for its subsidiary, United Aviate Academy as 30 students began class on December 6 at Arizona's Phoenix Goodyear Airport.

The class is 80% female or people of color, set to complete a rigorous year-long training program to set their careers on a course that will land them in a professional aviation position. Atlanta Technical College will open its Aviation Maintenance Airframe Certificate Program in 2022, with applications accepted now.The program will offer students a technical certificate of credit after 3 semesters of coursework. With a combination of aircraft airframe maintenance theory and practical application, the class offers students looking for a reliable, in-demand career track an affordable option. The dearth of aviation maintainers has been particularly noticeable in recent years, as demand remains undiminished with flagging graduate production. Skyborne Airline Academy celebrated the achievement of 2 recent ATPL UK graduates joining Flyby Technology as Beyond Line of Visual Sight Drone Operators. The students now put their training to use, supporting flight operations for an NHS trial to evaluate drug delivery for the Isle of Wight.
