Looking for a career that combines hands-on work, high pay, and the excitement of aviation? A future in Aviation Maintenance Technology could be your perfect fit.
Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) keep aircraft operating safely and efficiently. From commercial airlines to private fleets, AMTs are in constant demand across Oklahoma and the U.S.
The Demand is Growing
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 5% job growth for aviation maintenance professionals and median salaries of over $79,000. This field offers exceptional earning potential right from the start!
As new aircraft roll off production lines and experienced technicians retire, opportunities for certified AMTs continue to soar.

What makes aviation maintenance such a strong career choice isn’t just the paycheck, it’s the stability and opportunity for growth.
AMTs work in dynamic, fast-paced environments that are ideal for individuals who enjoy hands-on problem solving and technology. The role is essential, recession-resistant, and offers flexibility.
With advancements in aircraft systems and maintenance tools, it’s also a career that’s constantly evolving.
