College of the North Atlantic in Gander has formed a partnership with Bombardier to help expand the college’s fleet of training resources.

Bombardier officials visited the school this week to see CNA’s aviation programs first-hand and meet with students to hear how the donations of equipment and parts have helped to support innovative training.

CNA offers a variety of aviation-related programs including courses in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Technician, Aircraft Structural Repair Technician and the AMET Advanced Diploma.

Among Bombarier’s donations to the school was a Learjet 45-001 flight test vehicle in 2021, and most recently, a fuselage section and a variety of aircraft parts.
