I news I Jet Aviation St. Louis Begins Work on its First BBJ
Jet Aviation St. Louis welcomed its first Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) in February, and its second BBJ is scheduled for this spring. Both aircraft will have maintenance and minor interior upgrades performed. The construction of a narrow body hangar, training of technicians and investment in infrastructure
resulted in the BBJ projects. Numerous St. Louis technicians have been sent to Jet Aviation’s sister facility in Basel, Switzerland to gain first-hand experience working on BBJs. This cooperative work program began in early 2010 and continues today. “Jet Aviation St. Louis has been preparing to support BBJ aircraft for a long time,” notes Chuck Krugh, senior vice president and general manager, Jet Aviation St. Louis. “It’s exciting to see a BBJ at our facility and to be adding this aircraft to the list of quality airframes served here.”

The Rosetta Stone partnership marks the first time language training has been offered through IATA’s training curriculum, which already features classroom and distance learning in aviation administration, security, tourism, safety and many other subjects. IATA represents member airlines and interacts with people at every touch-point of the aviation supply chain. Given the aviation industry’s global breadth, multilingualism has become a key area for employee development, compliance and competitiveness. “If ever there was a truly global industry, aviation is it,” said Judy Verses, president, Global Institutions at Rosetta Stone. “Being able to communicate across borders and cultures is a vital skill for global organizations.” The ITDI client base is drawn from the employees of 240 member airlines. Participants who successfully complete Level 3 and Level 5 of Rosetta Stone TOTALe PRO as part of ITDI’s curriculum will earn certificates reflecting their language proficiency.
