Serbia’s Jat Tehnika And Airbus Plan Training Center for Balkans

JAT Tehnika, Serbia’s aircraft maintenance company, said it will expand into servicing Airbus SAS’s jets this year as it agreed with the aircraft maker to set up a training center for handling its 310 and 320-series planes.

Certification of JAT Tehnika for servicing the Airbus jets is expected in the third quarter, after which the companies will establish a “regional training center for third parties,” said Srdjan Miskovic, JAT Tehnika’s general manager in a phone interview today. The agreement was signed at Airbus’ headquarters in Toulouse last week, he said.
