Strong training partnerships build on shared expertise.
Two groups, two locations and six weeks of shared learning: over the past few months, we welcomed 20 junior technicians from the SunExpress T(h)rust Talent Program to Lufthansa Technical Training in Hamburg and Frankfurt.
Each group spent three weeks with us, working on structural maintenance, electrical components and engine technology. Developed specifically for SunExpress, the program combined focused theory sessions with practical exercises and operational insights. Based on the airline's training objectives, it was designed to build on the knowledge gained during the trainees' studies and first operational experiences, while refreshing and deepening key topics relevant to their future roles in Line Maintenance.
Several participants reflected on their time with us as part of SunExpress' interview series. They described the program as "a bridge between theory and practice" and valued the opportunity to discover different working methods, learn from instructors with many years of operational experience and gain insights into international aviation standards. Read more about their experiences in SunExpress' interview series on the SunExpress LinkedIn page.
Our connection with SunExpress goes back several years and includes customer training, instructor support and close cooperation between our teams. This project was another example of the trust and openness that have shaped our collaboration.
A special thank you to all trainees for their curiosity and commitment. We hope to see you again soon!
