Zurich, November 23, 2010

SR Technics and Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, have signed a five year contract for full technical training support. The agreement covers technical training on all Airbus and Boeing types and includes basic and specialized training. The training will be mainly provided in Abu Dhabi with other locations worldwide as required by Etihad.

The new agreement follows an initial one year contract between the two organizations.

With this contract SR Technics is able to fully use its expertise of all Airbus and Boeing types. The MRO provider will train the airline’s maintenance employees with the specific competences needed to contribute to Etihad’s future growth.

Markus Bürgin, Head of Technical Training at SR Technics, says, “The first contract with Etihad Airways gave us the opportunity to demonstrate our training know-how, our excellence in service, and our dedication to contribute to the future success of this major customer. Etihad Airways’ selection of SR Technics as its main provider of technical training is a great sign of Etihad’s confidence in our relationship.”

While most of the training will take place in Abu Dhabi to support this contract with Etihad, the training provider also has training locations in Zurich, Geneva, and London. The offering ranges from technical training to vocational, through basic aircraft maintenance to aircraft type and specialized training as well as an engineering school for professional education.
