Air India to set up Aircraft Maintenance Training Institute in Bengaluru
Air India is setting up an aircraft maintenance training institute in Bengaluru that will offer an integrated 2+2 years aircraft maintenance engineering (AME) programme certified by aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
The purpose-built basic maintenance training organisation (BMTO), spread over 86,000 square feet at Bengaluru Airport City, is expected to be operational by mid-2026, Air India said in a release.
The country’s leading global airline group has signed an agreement with Bengaluru Airport City Ltd (BACL), a subsidiary of Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL), to develop a build-to-suit facility for the AME programme that will feature modern classrooms, well-equipped laboratories for practical training and a team of qualified trainers.
The BMTO will be housed close to Air India’s new 12-bay maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Bengaluru that will be operational in early 2026. The programme at the BMTO will include two years of in-classroom academic coursework followed by two years of practical on-job training at the MRO.
“Students will also be encouraged to pursue a simultaneous bachelor’s degree through university partnerships, which will enhance their academic and career opportunities,” the company said in a release.
