SR Technics opens training centre in Abu Dhabi

SR Technics has been providing the employees of various regional airlines in the Middle East with basic maintenance training and type rating training – and now the former Mubadala Subsidiary has returned to Abu Dhabi with a new training centre.

SR Technics was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi investment fund Mubadala until earlier this year when 80% of the holding was sold to China's HNA Group.
The new modern training centre is designed to serve regional and international clients, strengthening the existing relationships and building new ones.
Stephan Wiegelmann, head of training services at SR Technics, said: “We were looking for a state-of-the-art facility, which we found in Masdar City. We chose this location because it is a progressive hub for educational, technical and scientific institutions, providing a modern environment for learning. Masdar City is also close to the Abu Dhabi Airport, so we are able to perform practical training on aircraft. The new centre is designed to offer high quality technical training in an inspiring learning environment.”
the site will be used to provide basic maintenance and aircraft type training, special courses, and consultancy services.
Practical training on aircraft is to be conducted at the airport.
Yousef Baselaib, executive director of sustainable real estate at Masdar said “The expansion of SR Technics’ presence at Masdar City will provide important services to Abu Dhabi’s growing aviation sector, and enhance the City’s standing as a hub connecting education with R&D and business with investment.”
Ralph Kaeding, who has been appointed Head of the new centre said: “Our experienced training team is fully committed to providing the quality training, with the flexibility to choose from scheduled courses as well as customised solutions. Our courses are short and efficient to minimize the off-duty time, optimizing the learning experience.”
