Shanghai Engine Center Partners With Shanghai Civil Aviation College
An agreement for a joint venture has been signed between Pratt & Whitney global service partners Shanghai Engine Center ... known as Shanghai Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Engine Maintenance Company Limited ("SEC"), a joint venture with China Eastern Airlines ... and Shanghai Civil Aviation College (SCAC) to collaborate on apprenticeships and advance license training programs.
"The training collaboration between SEC and SCAC is the first training collaboration between a MRO facility and an academic institution in China," said Mike Eller, SEC general manager. "We're confident this collaboration will help strengthen our apprenticeship program and increase our presence as a leading MRO provider in China by attracting top talent from throughout the region."
SEC is a state-of-the art facility with extensive part repair capacity that helps reduce engine overhaul costs and turnaround times.
