Mohawk and KF Aerospace, Building Aviation Excellence
March 16, 2021 March 16, 2021
Mohawk’s Centre for Aviation Technology is housed in a 75,000-square-foot hangar at the busy Hamilton International Airport.
Canada’s aviation industry had a shortage of aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs) before Covid-19, and will contend with a deeper skills shortage as the industry pulls out of the pandemic at a time when experienced AMEs have jumped on the Covid-hiatus to retire. For students considering a career in aircraft maintenance or aerospace manufacturing, the timing could not be better.
While the deep impact of the pandemic will be felt for years to come, the importance of air transport and travel has been reinforced by the crisis and there is a great deal of optimism that the industry will resume its pattern of growth and expansion.
