Glennair Training Centre

Glennair Training Centre gives approved maintenance type training to licensed aircraft engineers and aviation technicians. It is based at Norwich International Airport in Norfolk, UK.

The company was set up in Norwich in 1980 as a family-run business. It says it is still independent more than 45 years later. It says it has trained hundreds of aviation professionals around the world in over four decades.

Its B1, B2 and combined B1/B2 courses are approved under EASA, UK CAA and UAE GCAA Part 147. They follow EASA Part 66 standards. The B1 course covers the mechanical side of maintenance, such as airframe, engines and electrical systems. The B2 course covers avionics and aircraft electrical systems, including navigation, communication, instruments and autopilot. The combined course prepares engineers to work in both areas.

Glennair also runs General Familiarisation courses. These give a short overview of a specific aircraft type, with system layout and key technical features. Continuation training helps licensed engineers stay current with EASA, UK CAA and UAE GCAA rules. Courses cover both fixed wing and rotary aircraft.

Most training is held at the customer's own premises, with the right aviation authority facility approval. The company says this can cost less. Since the COVID-19 pandemic it has also run a virtual classroom for online and distance learning. Course materials are made in-house by its own design team.

Glennair has exhibited at AERO Friedrichshafen in Germany in 2025 and 2026, and at European Rotors in Cologne in 2025. It names Saxon Air as a facilities partner. The company has an enquiry form, and the company aims to answer every enquiry within one working day. There is also a careers page.
