QANTAS PICKS AVIATION AUSTRALIA TO PROVIDE WORLD-CLASS TRAINING

Aviation Australia is delighted to announce our partnership with Qantas launching the Qantas Group Engineering Academy.

Our partnership with Qantas as their training partner for the Academy recognises the important role that we play as the nation’s premier aircraft maintenance engineering training provider.

The Qantas Engineering Academy will create a pipeline of talent to meet strong growth in the aviation industry, contribute to building a skilled workforce for Queensland and boost the state’s economy.

The academy will train engineers for the Qantas Group but also the broader aviation industry, including general aviation and Defence contractors, with a focus on recruiting more women in engineering.

• Queensland’s aerospace sector’s economic contribution is forecast to grow by more than $53 million each year through to 2025-26 following Qantas’ decision to partner with the Queensland Government’s Aviation Australia to provide world-class training for Australian Engineers.
