Scholarship programs boost the training of aeronautical maintenance mechanics

The Ministry of Ports and Airports (MPor) informs that, starting today (2), applications for the scholarship program aimed at training aeronautical maintenance mechanics are open. In total, there are 74 free places in Brasília (DF), aimed at people who want to start or consolidate a career in civil aviation.

The program is carried out in collaboration with the National Transport Learning Service (Senat) and is part of the Wings for All Program, of the National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac). This is an opportunity to respond to the growing demand for Brazilian air transport, driven by the increase in the number of passengers – 30 million more travelers in 2025 – and the supply of flights with the generation of jobs and qualification of new professionals.
