The Academy of Aviation & Engineering (AAE), Bengaluru, is a premier institute under the Sha‑Shib Group, South Asia’s largest and most trusted name in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) education for over 33 years. With a legacy of excellence and innovation, AAE is approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India, to offer AME training under CAR 147 (Basic) for both B1.1 (Mechanical) and B2 (Avionics) categories.
What sets AAE Bengaluru apart is its unique dual‑program advantage. Students enrolled in the AME course also have the option to pursue an additional undergraduate degree from a variety of AICTE and university‑approved programs, such as BE (Aeronautical, Mechanical, Computer Science, Electronics & Communication), BBA Aviation, or B.Sc. This means two qualifications, an AME license and a degree, can be earned simultaneously, at the cost of a single fee.
The institute boasts a dedicated aircraft hangar housing fully functional training aircraft, including:
To further strengthen hands‑on learning, AAE has established practical training collaborations with top aviation companies such as AI Engineering Services Ltd., Air Works India Engineering Pvt. Ltd., Deccan Aviation Ltd., and GMR Aviation Pvt. Ltd. These partnerships provide students with real‑world exposure to aircraft maintenance operations and industry best practices.
Supporting this technical training is a well‑equipped campus featuring a state‑of‑the‑art library, airframe and engine workshops, avionics labs, a machine shop, electrical and radio navigation labs, and much more. All programs are delivered in alignment with global aviation training standards as prescribed by the DGCA.
At AAE Bengaluru, we don’t just teach aircraft maintenance, we shape the next generation of skilled, certified, and industry-ready aviation professionals.
