Euro Jet To Incorporate NATA's Line Training Program

Ground support services provider Euro Jet has partnered with NATA to deploy the U.S. association’s Professional Line Service Training program (PLST) in its network of ground handling agents. Euro Jet, which has an operations center in Prague, has built a network of ground handling agents throughout Europe and Asia.

NATA calls the partnership another milestone in its effort to expand the program internationally. NATA had been working with ground handlers in Europe to explore ways the program could be tailored better for European ground handlers, CEO Tom Hendricks told AIN earlier this year. NATA looked to European expansion as ground handlers face new ICAO safety management system requirements, he said, adding that interest in PLST also has increased since the rollout of the International Standard for Business Aviation Handling (IS-BAH).

Euro Jet CEO Charlie Bodnar said that as the company has grown over the past seven years, it has searched for ways it can constantly improve. With PLST, he said, “Our team will be even better at what they do and our customers will reap the benefits.”
