Magnetic Training has obtained EASA Part 147 approval to provide comprehensive training programmes for Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 aircraft.

The sub-brand of Magnetic Group says these new aircraft types will support its expansion in the widebody market. Until now, the company only provided widebody courses for A330 and B777.

Moving forward, Magnetic Training will also offer A350 and B787 type training for B1 and B2, various difference (diff) and general familiarisation courses, with the courses set to be launched this autumn.

The company claims that this approval will support its growing presence in Asia, and based on the market demand, the current expansion of the training portfolio corresponds to the regional burgeoning of skilled aircraft maintenance personnel.

Natalja Platonova, chief of the talents sector at Magnetic Group, said: “Several key market trends influenced the decision to seek this approval. For example, increasing demand for A350 and B787 aircraft, particularly in Asia, where the concentration of these aircraft is highest, has underscored the need for qualified maintenance professionals.

“We see this as an opportunity to grow our presence in Europe and Asia, providing high-quality, EASA-approved Training.”

Magnetic Training says it will offer open group sessions to individuals seeking to expand their skills, and customised training schedules will be available for corporate clients, allowing companies to arrange sessions at a time and place that best fits their operational needs.
