Albany airport, HVCC team up to train future aircraft mechanics, technicians FacebookTwitterEmail COLONIE With more than half the nation s commercial pilots over 55 years old, airlines will be scrambling to fill those jobs in coming years. But it s not only pilots that will be in short supply. That same demographic holds true for the mechanics who keep those airliners aloft, said Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin. And filling those jobs will also be a challenge. On Thursday, McLaughlin and other officials gathered to announce a new Aeronautical Technology Institute that will occupy a 12,000-square-foot hangar at Albany International Airport. The institute, a joint effort with Hudson Valley Community College that was first proposed by airport CEO Phil Calderone, will train aircraft technicians in a two-year program that will qualify them for jobs that can pay as much as $40 to $65 an hour.

HVCC, Albany Airport Launch New Aeronautical Technology Institute

3:27 Albany International Airport is collaborating with Hudson Valley Community College to launch the area s first aviation maintenance technician school. Months of planning and partnership went into the new school, located in Hangar 1. It’s part of  HVCC’s new Aeronautical Technology Institute. Airport CEO Phil Calderone says it will be an educational facility certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration to train aircraft mechanics for careers in the airline industry. “With over 4.5 million industry jobs lost during the pandemic, it s crucial at this post pandemic moment, that airports, airlines and the entire aviation ecosystem work in hand with our community to ensure a coordinated, swift and sustainable recovery. Toward that effort, this Aviation Institute could not be more timely.”
