CFM signs deal for India training center

CFM International said it will work with GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited to develop a maintenance training center in India for its CFM56 engines.
The center will be located at Rajiv Gandhi Airport in Hyderabad, India, according to a news release. It will train mechanics to inspect and repair the CFM56-5B and CFM56-7B engines, which power Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft.
“Hyderabad is ideally located for attracting airline mechanics and engineers from India and South Asia,” said Paul-Andre Chevin, CFM’s vice president for India, in a news release.
The facility, once fully operational, will be able to train up to 500 people annually, Chevin added.
Evendale-based jet engine manufacturer CFM International is a joint venture between General Electric Co. and Snecma in France.
