The Group

INVESTING IN PEOPLE

The success of our business depends on the success of our people.

Building a long-term partnership with employees.

We believe in long-term partnerships with employees – we are an aviation family and we will walk the extra mile to provide the help needed to unlock potential growth, unleash talents, and achieve goals together.

We have various training programs aimed at developing professionals armed with the ability to sustain consistent business growth as well as progress in their careers.

Every year we welcome around 100 students for internships within our group. Depending on the area of their studies, these students learn the everyday ins and outs of running our organization, become familiarized with highly sophisticated equipment, and pick up skills from industry-leading specialists.

Sharing knowledge and experience with society

In addition to investing in the development of our people, we share our knowledge and experience with both those in our industry and scholars, in turn, raising awareness for aviation and related businesses.

Investing in education and raising awareness

We help advance the pilot profession and the aviation sector in general. We organize excursions for children and students which gives them the possibility to try full flight simulators and see aircraft maintenance in our hangars. We believe that future generations must become better acquainted with the aviation industry and grow to respect aviation-related professions.

We invest money in preparing the next generation of aviation mechanics to better the future of both regional and global aviation. We accomplish this through base maintenance courses designed to provide all of the knowledge and skills necessary to obtain an Aircraft Technical Maintenance Specialist license. All practical training sessions are conducted in spacious, state-of-the-art 14 000 and 8 000 m ² hangars in Vilnius and Kaunas. We guarantee positions in the fastest-growing aircraft maintenance and support company FL Technics as soon as the program is completed.

We arrange international and national open door days for students.

Every year we participate in the exhibition ‘Self-Education. Studies. Career’ and in ‘Career Days’ arranged by the universities of Lithuania.

In 2015, Avia Solutions Group and Vilnius Gediminas Technical University agreed to cooperate in the development and implementation of aviation training related projects. Under the agreement, VGTU supports Avia Solutions Group in finding young talent while the Group provides various opportunities for VGTU students to acquire practical experience in the form of an internship.
