PENSACOLA, Fla. - ST Engineering announced on Feb. 28 the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Pensacola State College to explore setting up an Aviation Training Academy in Pensacola. The collaboration is part of ST Engineering’s continued growth and expansion plans in Pensacola, where it is developing an airframe Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) complex that comprises four large state-of-the-art hangars at Pensacola International Airport when completed. The MOU was signed today at the official opening of the airframe MRO complex’s second hangar. Pensacola State College is the oldest and biggest college in NW Florida. Under the MOU, ST Engineering and PSC will collaborate to develop a Federal Aviation Administration Part 147 Aircraft Maintenance Technician School at the Pensacola International Airport. The plan to develop an aviation training academy comes at a time when global air travel is recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, and skilled aviation maintenance professionals are in high demand. Targeting to roll out training in 2024, the academy will help support the needs of ST Engineering’s airframe MRO complex.
