In addition to enhancing India’s manufacturing and services capabilities through its industrial base, Airbus will continue to contribute to the growth of the country’s larger aerospace ecosystem, he said.
Aspirants who passed their Higher Secondary Certificate (Class 12) test with Physics and Mathematics as their main subjects would be eligible to apply for the programme, which is slated to begin this year.

Students after completing AME Course candidates will be responsible for the safety, security and maintenance of an aircraft which is a job of high dignity and responsibility since an aircraft will not be able to take off without the approval from Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
