British Airways has announced the extension of its Engineering Cadet Scheme to New York, offering a fully funded program aimed at training future aviation engineers. The scheme, in partnership with the Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM), will provide six students with full scholarships, paving the way for potential employment with British Airways.
The five-year program includes two years of foundational training at AIM followed by three years of "intensive onboarding training" at British Airways' London Heathrow Airport facility. This initiative marks British Airways as the first international carrier to partner with AIM for such a scheme.
Andy Best, Chief Technical Officer at British Airways, emphasized the importance of investing in future technicians: "As we have seen through our exceptional Engineering apprentice scheme in the UK, investing in future technicians is vital, and this program will aid in building a pipeline of future engineers in bases across America."
