New CFM56 engine maintenance training centre

New Delhi, Mar 2 (UNI) CFM International will open its fourth aircraft engine maintenance training school in India.

CFM International is a 50:50 joint venture company between Snecma (SAFRAN Group) and General Electric Company.

''We're excited by the opportunity to bring advanced CFM56 engine maintenance training to India,'' said CFM's vice-president for India Paul-Andre Chevrin.

''Once the facility is fully operational, we'll have the capability of training up to 500 engineers from India and other neighbouring countries in south Asia every year.'' The new training school, which will mirror the facilities already operating in China, France and the United States, will initially provide advanced courses in line maintenance and borescope inspection for CFM56-7B and CFM56-5B engines.

These engines power Boeing 737s and a majority of Airbus A320 series aircraft.
