Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (IAME)

The Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (IAME) is an aviation training institute in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It trains students to become certified aircraft maintenance engineers. The institute also trains people for other parts of the aviation industry, from the technical side to the airline front desk.

IAME is linked to an EASA Part-147 approved organisation. The basic training for B1 and B2 licences is offered at its Lahore site in collaboration with that organisation. The courses follow EASA Part 66 basic training, and all exams are held in-house. The institute says it mixes theory with practical training, because the essence of engineering is hands-on work.

The main course is Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. Students can follow the Category A, B1, B1.2 or B2 licence routes. Other programmes include a UK top-up plan, an Italy AME programme and an Australia top-up plan. On-job training is offered in Dubai, Malaysia, Pakistan and Europe. The institute also lists bachelor degrees in computer science and business administration.

Airline training is a key part of the offer. Students can get commercial airline experience, log entries for their records, and training in base maintenance and line maintenance for the B1.1 licence. They can also gain basic B1 and B2 experience on the job. The institute shows photos of students working at an airline in Pakistan.

A job placement cell helps licensed engineers find work abroad. It runs a job-based immigration programme for Europe and the UK. It is open to people who hold an EASA licence and have three to five years of experience. The institute says it has ties with recruitment agencies and airlines such as EasyJet, KLM, Iberia, Virgin Atlantic and Austrian Airlines. Applicants send their documents, and the institute forwards CVs and supports the visa steps after an offer.

The institute lists graduates who joined Serene Airline, Emirates, Airblue and Northern Technik. It also shows collaboration logos from Ryanair, Etihad Airways, Malaysia Airlines, Globaljet, VD-Gulf and Mach Technic. Its aim is for graduates to be ready for work with strong skills in aviation standards, including those followed by EASA and the CAA.
