Aircraft Maintenance & Training School

What Aircraft Maintenance & Training School does

Aircraft Maintenance & Training School (AM&TS) is a Netherlands-based, EASA Part 66 & 147 approved aviation maintenance training organization headquartered at Aviolandalaan 35, Hoogerheide, co-located on the Curio vocational campus adjacent to Fokker Services and in proximity to the Royal Netherlands Air Force base. Its core offering is curriculum development and instructor-led training for certifying aircraft maintenance personnel — spanning Part 66 Cat A1.1 (turbine airplane line maintenance), Cat A1.3 (piston-engine airplane line maintenance), and a dedicated Aviation Technical English course for Part 145 documentation compliance — delivered under a 'Training as a Service' model. The customer base spans Dutch and European commercial airlines (KLM, TUI, Transavia, Lufthansa, Air France-KLM Group, Brussels Airlines), international carriers (Kenya Airways), MRO organizations (Fokker Services, StandardAero, Regional Jetcentre, Amapola), and the Royal Netherlands Air Force and Royal Netherlands Navy.

AM&TS commercializes training through B2B direct engagement and multi-year contracts with aviation organizations, with pricing not publicly disclosed and contracts negotiated per organization or per course. It operates as a private, founderially held entity with no disclosed external equity, operating in a single-country (Netherlands) footprint while serving international carriers, and has cumulatively trained more than 2,000 aircraft mechanics. Recent 2025 operational moves include a formal collaboration with staffing/training partner Resource Group, the launch of an AM&TS mobile App for students, and the opening of on-site student housing ('The Cabin'), alongside an aviation technical English curriculum extension. Strategic assets are concentrated in regulatory designation (EASA Part 147), physical infrastructure at Curio/Fokker, and an established anchor-customer roster rather than in technology or data assets.

Direct peers

• SR Technics: Swiss-based aircraft MRO provider that also offers Part 147 maintenance training to external customers. Comparable dual model of MRO operations plus certified training school targeting airline clients in Europe.
• Lufthansa Technical Training: EASA Part 147 approved maintenance training organization and one of Europe's largest aviation technical training providers. Closest comparable to AM&TS in regulatory framework, customer base (airlines/MROs), and curriculum scope, though at materially greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Egnatia Aviation: Greek EASA Part 147 approved maintenance training organization serving European airlines and MROs. Comparable to AM&TS in regulatory scope, customer profile, and operating model — a peer regional Part 147 specialist.
• Resource Group: UK-based aviation workforce solutions and training company that recently signed a formal collaboration with AM&TS. Overlap in aviation maintenance training, type rating courses, and aviation English makes it both a partner and a partial competitive peer.
• BAA Training Academy: Lithuania-headquartered aviation training organization offering EASA Part 147 aircraft maintenance training alongside pilot and cabin crew programs. Comparable to AM&TS in being a Part 147 school targeting airline and MRO clients across Europe.

Broad incumbents

• CAE: Global leader in aviation training with broad coverage across pilot, cabin crew, and maintenance technician training including EASA Part 147 content. Represents the scaled incumbent against which niche schools like AM&TS must differentiate on specialization and local presence.
• FlightSafety International: Large aviation training provider serving commercial, business, and defense aviation with both flight and maintenance training programs. A broad incumbent with overlapping Part 147-equivalent curriculum though primarily operating outside the Netherlands.
• Pan Am International Flight Academy: Aviation training academy offering pilot and maintenance technician programs. Overlaps with AM&TS in EASA-aligned maintenance training offerings though distributed across a broader international footprint.

Others

• Heli-One / StandardAero Training Services: StandardAero (already an AM&TS customer) and similar MRO-led training arms provide maintenance training partly through internal channels and partly via certified schools. Functions as both a buyer of AM&TS training and an adjacent competitor for technical training mandates.

Regional players

• Stichting Luchtvaart Opleidingen (SLO): Dutch aviation training foundation providing pilot and aircraft maintenance training. Direct Dutch regional peer that competes for the same local cohort pool and Dutch aviation employer relationships.
