Delta TechOps is on a mission is to educate and inspire future Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs). By providing pathways to become an aircraft mechanic and engaging in community outreach, partnerships with educational institutions, the U.S. military, and other organizations, we aim to inspire and educate. Let Delta accelerate your future in aviation.

AMTs are responsible for ensuring the safety and mechanical reliability of each Delta Air Lines flight every day. They have a critical role in keeping millions of people safe each year. AMTs maintain and repair aircraft, engines, components and avionics systems according to Delta and FAA specifications.  Specialty fields include avionics, welding, engine, overhaul, engineering and more.

At Delta, we offer three distinct pathways to becoming an Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT), each designed to accommodate different backgrounds and experiences. You can join our team through Endeavor Air, our wholly-owned subsidiary, where you’ll gain hands-on experience while working on regional aircraft. If you’re a military veteran with relevant maintenance experience, you’ll find a direct pathway into our AMT program, where your skills and service are highly valued. Finally, we partner with A&P schools across the country, providing a clear route for those pursuing certification in A&P mechanics. Each pathway offers a unique opportunity to grow your career and be part of our trusted maintenance team.

Endeavor Air is a regional airline owned by Delta that operates the world’s largest fleet of CRJ-900 NexGen aircraft and CRJ-700 regional jets. Endeavor mechanics are eligible for the Delta pathway, which offers the opportunity to advance their career to Delta Air Lines.

 

U.S. Military veterans with relevant experience may qualify for either an AMT or an Aircraft Support Mechanic (ASM) position. Veterans with aircraft maintenance experience but without an A&P license, may qualify for the FAA Form 8610-2 and eligibility test. Veterans with no previous aircraft maintenance experience will need to attend an A&P school and may be eligible to receive military benefits such as the G.I. Bill. Delta Partner Schools that offer A&P prep courses for Military members are:  

Delta TechOps partners with schools across the U.S. to support potential future talent. Students who attend a partner A&P school and successfully obtain an FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) license are qualified to begin their mechanic journey as an AMT.

Programs typically last 18-24 months. Most schools are eligible for financial aid and VA educational benefits. Choose from over 50 Delta partner schools across the country.
