  It’s no secret that the global aviation industry is expanding, but behind every aircraft that takes off safely, there’s a lesser-known story: the critical need for licensed maintenance engineers. With global aircraft fleets projected to grow from 29,000 to over 38,000 in the next decade, and manufacturing delays pushing airlines to extend the life of older jets, the maintenance sector is facing mounting pressure. And yet, fewer young people are entering the field. “We’re looking at a shortfall of roughly half a million engineers over the next ten years,”   says Ene Krinpus, Managing Director of Engineering & Training Services at  Magnetic Talents . “The industry knows this. Airlines know this. And so do we. That’s why training isn’t just a service – it’s a responsibility.” What is aviation technical training, and why does it matter? Put simply, aviation technical training prepares individuals to inspect, maintain, and certify aircraft f...

  In response to the ever-increasing demand for engine-related work in the market,  Magnetic Engines  has scaled its operations at its Tallinn-based engine workshop. Alexey Ivanov, Business Development Manager at Magnetic Engines, introduces us to the work involved in this field, as well as highlighting their most recent projects. A post-pandemic surge in demand As planes take to the sky in increasingly larger numbers, so too do their engines – and those engines sometimes need a complete refresh. Among the most frequently requested services are partial or full engine performance restoration, which entails removing the engine from the wing and sending it to a maintenance facility.  From a technical perspective, this involves disassembling the engine in order to open, at least, the hot section modules (combustion section, high-pressure turbine), inspecting and repairing/replacing their parts, and finally, reassembling the engine. The high-pressure compressor section...
