LAS TRAINING AND LAS MAINTENANCE PARTICIPATE IN EATS 2024

This week, LAS Training and LAS Maintenance had the honor of participating in the European Aviation Training Symposium 2024 (EATS 2024), held at the prestigious Estoril Congress Center. The representation was led by Mónica Teixeira, Training Manager at LAS Training, and Delfim Dores, COO of LAS Maintenance, who shared knowledge and experiences in one of the most relevant sessions of the event: “Challenges for the Future” in aviation training.

A strategic look at the future of aircraft maintenance

The session opened with an inspiring keynote by Hans Mayer, President of the European Aviation Maintenance Training Committee (EAMTC), who highlighted the main challenges and opportunities currently facing the aircraft maintenance industry in Europe.

Following this, Harald Schween from Lufthansa Technical Training addressed a crucial topic: the difficulty in recruiting and retaining talent for aviation maintenance technicians. His presentation emphasized the need to develop innovative and sustainable strategies to manage and maintain a qualified workforce, essential to ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of the sector.

Holistic training for the next generation

To conclude the session, our LAS Training and LAS Maintenance team delivered a presentation focused on a key theme for the future of aviation: training the next generation of aircraft maintenance technicians.

Mónica Teixeira and Delfim Dores advocated for the importance of an integrated training approach that goes beyond just technical aspects, including human factors, emotional intelligence development, and social skills.

This holistic training model aims to prepare professionals capable of combining technical precision with teamwork abilities, effective communication, and handling pressure situations—qualities that are increasingly essential in the aviation sector.
