BIRMINGHAM, September 16, 2022 — STS Aviation Services (STS), a division of STS Aviation Group and a leading aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul provider to the global aviation industry, is pleased to announce the launch of its newly formed Apprenticeship Scheme. The scheme will last for 4 years and culminates in Engineers qualifying for their engineer licenses.

Working alongside highly-skilled engineers within STS Aviation Services, the trainees have a fantastic opportunity to learn best practices on both legacy and next-generation aircraft.

Imogen Day, STS Aviation Services’ VP of Human Resources says, “When looking for a college to support our flagship scheme, there was no greater place that Solihull College who are well versed in aviation apprenticeships schemes. The scheme is four years in duration, with a mix of college attendance and working within the many areas of STS to include maintenance, design, logistics, planning, safety & compliance. From the many applicants we’ve seen, we have selected 5 trainees to start this year – each to be mentored and coached along the way by our skilled Engineers who are equally enthused by this scheme and wanting to help.”

“I cannot tell you how delighted I am that STS is now introducing this scheme, one of very few that exist in UK aviation,” states Mick Adams, STS Aviation Services’ CEO in the United Kingdom. Our company is determined to build for the long term, and bringing these trainees into such an exciting industry presents wonderful opportunities for them to grow their careers and advance. In today’s aviation market, there is a severe lack of aerospace engineers, and we have to do what needs to be done to address this. I had the pleasure of meeting all of the apprentices yesterday, and I took the opportunity to provide some colour as to the future opportunities. When doing so, I could sense the excitement and passion they have to learn. STS Aviation Services will encourage this further by exposing them to all facets of MRO in both the commercial and military sectors.”

FAA Diamond Award

Melbourne, Fla., March 19, 2021 – STS Mod Center, a global leader in aircraft maintenance and modification services, receives the FAA Diamond Award from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration for its continued commitment to aircraft maintenance training and safety. This is the fourth year in a row STS Mod Center has received the award.

In order to be considered for the award, STS Mod Center enrolled itself into the FAA FAAST program; a program designed to promote safer skies through the ongoing training and education of Aircraft Maintenance Technicians. To receive the award, every touch labor specialist employed by STS Mod Center had to successfully complete the year-long program with ratings levels that exceeded the Federal Aviation Administration’s justifiably high standards.

This award reflects that, and I’m proud of our team for rallying together and working hard to bring this award home for the fourth consecutive year. This accomplishment means a lot to us as an organization, but knowing that safety rests at the heart of everything we do means a great deal more to our customers and the people who depend on us to fly safely.”

STS Aviation Group Issues Media Statement

Logo on Jacket

Jensen Beach, Fla., March 8, 2021 – Over the weekend several troubling images from the Capitol riot that took place on January 6, 2021 in Washington, D.C. were shared with the STS Aviation Group team. Depicted in those images appears to be a man, wearing white gloves and a black STS Aviation Group jacket, spraying some sort of chemical substance at a group of officers trying their best to quell a very tense and dangerous situation.

After launching an internal investigation we have not been able to identify the man captured in these photos as a current, or former, employee of STS Aviation Group and / or its subsidiaries.

Moving forward our organization will offer no further comment on this matter other than to say that the federal law enforcement agents who are carrying out this investigation have our full support and cooperation should they require it.

Thank you kindly,

STS Aviation Group
