AirBusiness Academy training consultants, including senior consutant, Beatrice Monthioux, traveled west this summer to deliver APQP Champion for suppliers in the United States.

APQP Champion training was initially developed and deployed across all Airbus divisions to train APQP leaders and support APQP project teams. It has since the Spring 2019 made its “grand debut” on the international scene and into supplier sites.  Our training team can deliver APQP Champion for suppliers, aligned with EN9145, in four languages including Mandarin Chinese. The seminar based on a very practical approach is rooted in hands-on exercises, the application of best practices and tools to ensure your team’s success.

So, look for a session near you in 2020!

The AirBusiness Academy and the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) in Singapore have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on delivering aviation education and management training programmes for students and talents in the region. 

Under the agreement, the two organisations will work on areas such as faculty exchanges, joint delivery of specific training programmes, and the hosting of each other’s courses at their respective campuses. The collaboration will focus on courses in areas such as aviation strategy, finance and operations management, aircraft maintenance and engineering, innovation and leadership development. These could take the form of short professional education courses, or complete curriculum leading to a degree.

“Airbus is pleased to collaborate with Embry-Riddle to support aviation education and training programmes in the Asia-Pacific region. This is the fastest-growing aviation market in the world, and this partnership could allow us to jointly meet the demand for highly-qualified professionals in the aerospace industry throughout the region,” said Bruno Bousquet, Vice President, Customer Services Asia-Pacific, Airbus.

Matthew Flaherty, Interim Vice Chancellor and Head of Asia at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, said: “Embry-Riddle is delighted to expand our relationship with Airbus. We look forward to continued collaboration in training and educating the aviation and aerospace workforce in Singapore and the surrounding Asia region.”

The AirBusiness Academy is an Airbus unit committed to developing professionals in the aviation and aerospace ecosystem. It works with over 100 customers worldwide, half from Asia. It supports authorities, airlines, airports, lessors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities and suppliers to enhance safety, sustainability and profitability of the aerospace industry. It has offices in Toulouse, Beijing and Singapore.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Asia offers degree programmes through partnerships in Singapore. Backed by the United States-based Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the world's leader in aviation and aerospace education and training, these partnerships in Singapore provide both undergraduates and working professionals from the Asian region with a quality education in aviation and aerospace.

Visit us at our stand at one of the biggest aerospace events of the year taking place in Hamburg in November.

Over two days, key players with the network of Airbus suppliers and partners come together to discuss future perspectives, collaboration and general direction for the global aerospace industry.

B2B meetings are coupled with exciting and varied tours of local industries and of course the impressive Airbus facilities in Hamburg.

With particular focus on opportunities and risks for aerospace businesses, other hot topics will include Supply Chain Management, Global Production, Future Supply Network, Digitalization, MRO, Interior, Additive Manufacturing, Disrupting Business Models and Automated Production.

Among the participating companies, we will meet some current customers such as Cotesa, Diehl,  Premium AEROTEC and hopefully have the opportunity to meet many promising leads for the future. AirBusiness Academy will focus on the distribution of our new catalogue dedicated to suppliers and also a brand new segment entitled Innovation & Collaborative Work.

This year's patron of the conference is none other than Dr. Klaus Richter, Chief Procurement Officer Airbus.

Under the blue skies and 30° heat in Paris, our Business Development team braved the grounds of Le Bourget once again.

With over 2300 exhibitors in the halls and chalets, the event really is the top location to get in touch with customers, old and new. Stephan and Nathan had the objective of reaching out to suppliers in order to inform, not only of our 'Be An Airbus Supplier' training but also our complete catalogue dedicated to suppliers. This portfolio includes training areas of procurement, supply chain management, regulations and quality and lean. Our new domain of "Innovation & Collaborative Work" also turned a few heads with many companies specifically interested in our Agile Innovation training.

Over the course of two days, the team introduced AirBusiness Academy to 26 companies, held B-to-B meetings with 48 company representatives from all over the world and identified a substantial number of opportunities for the future.

One of the major supplier events in Canada and North America, Aeromart will welcome over 1300 participants from 28 countries.

Our business development manager Nathan Sananes will be present at the event taking place from 4 - 6th April 2017. Nathan will be joined by Holger Heckel, associate trainer for AirBusiness Academy, who has more than 20 years of consulting experience with a focus on Business Process Management, Operations and Supply Chain Management as well as Lean Management.

Holger will deliver a workshop entitled "Get Ahead in the Aerospace Race – Have you got what it takes?" to a public of over 60 representatives from companies with the aerospace suppy chain.

With one to one meetings, networking lunches and a welcome event organised by Business France, Aeromart should prove to be a premium opportunity to meet and communicate the AirBusiness Academy supplier offer to our USA counterparts.
