Emerald Airlines, the Aer Lingus Regional network operator, has opened applications for its 2024 Aircraft Engineering and Maintenance Apprenticeship. The application will remain open until 29th February.
The Aircraft Engineering and Maintenance Apprenticeship is carried out in collaboration with SOLAS, Ireland’s Further Education and Training Authority and Technological University Dublin. With a combined approach of classroom and hands-on experience, those who successfully complete the apprenticeship will be considered for full-time positions at Emerald Airlines.
Emerald Airlines Apprentices will split their time between classroom training in both Shannon and Dublin and on-the-job, hands-on training at the Emerald Airlines Engineering and Maintenance Facility at Dublin Airport. Apprentices will be working primarily on a fleet of ATR 72-600 aircraft and will be part of a small dynamic team. Over the past year, Emerald Airlines’ engineering department has made significant advancements in capabilities, expanding its approval scope at its Dublin base to include Line and A-Check approval.
Commenting on the announcement, John Redmond, Line Maintenance Manager at Emerald Airlines, said: “We are delighted to be launching this year’s Aircraft Engineering and Maintenance Apprenticeship.
