CFM International will begin offering line maintenance training for the LEAP-1C engine at its Aero Engine Maintenance and Training Center (AEMTEC) located in Guanghan City.

The LEAP-1C training engine, which was used as part of the engine certification test programme, will be delivered to the facility in 2017.

Jean-Paul Ebanga, president and CEO of the engine manufacturer, said the new training programme is an important part of its commitment to Chinese customers.

“AEMTC was the first training center of its kind in China and the instructors there are world class. We look forwarding to welcoming our first students,” he said.
