Eastar Jet is taking the lead in training talent for aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO).
On May 21, Eastar Jet announced that it has signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Aviation Maintenance Department at Silla University to foster talent in aviation MRO.
The agreement aims to systematically develop aviation maintenance personnel and establish a foundation for early and stable workforce recruitment.
The two parties will collaborate in various areas, including the joint development of aviation maintenance training programs, sharing educational infrastructure such as training facilities and equipment, exchanging information on aviation maintenance technology and regulations, and providing guest lectures and mentoring from industry professionals.
Notably, during the summer and winter breaks, Silla University will offer an internship program for fourth-year students at Eastar Jet's maintenance center at Gimhae Airport.
During the internship, Eastar Jet will provide high-quality curriculum support, including tours of B737-8 aircraft maintenance sites, hands-on training in the use of the maintenance history computerized system (ERP), and practical education on the maintenance quality management system (SMS), helping students grow into aviation maintenance experts.
An Eastar Jet official stated, "We plan to expand opportunities for hands-on aviation maintenance education to support the development of skilled personnel. We will continue to nurture aviation maintenance talent across various regions, contributing to the competitiveness of the domestic aviation maintenance industry."
Meanwhile, Eastar Jet has been expanding its foundation for training maintenance personnel through industry-academia cooperation since establishing a consolidated maintenance center at Gimpo Airport last October.
