5 FAA-approved Part 147 schools

§ Brief

Aircraft maintenance in Massachusetts

Massachusetts anchors New England aviation through Boston Logan (BOS), a major airport that drives steady line-maintenance demand across the region, plus a dense aerospace and defense engineering sector. The state's technology economy supports significant work in avionics, unmanned systems, and defense electronics.

Beyond Logan, Massachusetts hosts business aviation, general aviation, and Air National Guard maintenance operations. Aircraft-mechanic wages run above the national median, though the region's high cost of living offsets some of that advantage.

Massachusetts' Part 147 schools include vocational technical high schools and community colleges — Cape Cod Community College and several technical academies — offering affordable, VA-approved paths into the trade.
