Skyborne
Gloucestershire, UK - 21 May, 2025 - Jet2.com and Skyborne Airline Academy have unveiled an ambitious new initiative designed to eliminate the financial barriers to pilot training, providing aspiring aviators with a direct pathway to the flight deck of the UK's third-largest airline. The multi-million-pound program, named Jet2FlightPath , offers successful candidates an 18-month fully sponsored pilot training package delivered by Skyborne, one of the scheme's approved training providers.
Upon completing the program, graduates will obtain a UK CAA Integrated Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) and receive Type Rating training on either Airbus or Boeing aircraft. Following this, they will begin their careers as Second Officers with Jet2.com. Initially, the airline plans to enroll 60 pilots in the Jet2FlightPath program [https://skyborne.com/uk/news-events/jet2-com-and-skyborne-launch-fully-funded-pilot-training-programme/] during its first year, with plans to expand the initiative to attract even more aspiring pilots as the company continues to grow.
Lee Woodward, CEO of Skyborne Airline Academy, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, "Jet2.com is an award-winning airline with a strong commitment to quality and accessibility, so this is a proud moment. Its decision to work with Skyborne reflects the value of our training and our shared commitment to removing the costs that prevent talented individuals from pursuing a career in aviation. We're excited to support the next generation of pilots through this fully funded opportunity, building on our solid experience of delivering similar airline-sponsored programs."
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, emphasized the groundbreaking nature of the initiative, stating, "The launch of this brand-new and fully funded pilot training program is momentous news for Jet2.com and for aspiring pilots. We know that the cost of training is an obstacle to many people who dream of becoming a commercial airline pilot, so we are very proud to announce this groundbreaking program which will help us make that dream a reality for many, including those who may have thought that the opportunity was beyond their means.
By opening this incredible opportunity up to so many people from so many backgrounds, we expect the program to be extremely popular. We look forward to receiving applications and helping many wonderful flying careers take off."
Training will be conducted at Skyborne's state-of-the-art facilities in Gloucestershire and Bournemouth in the UK, as well as in Vero Beach, Florida, in the United States. Jet2.com will provide a subsistence allowance for trainees, and all Class 1 Medical costs will also be covered. Participants will have access to guidance from Jet2.com pilot mentors and gain insights into the airline's operations through immersive aviation events.
The program is open to candidates aged 18 to 55 at the start of training, who must hold a valid passport and unrestricted right to live and work in the UK. Previous flying experience is not required. Applications are now open and will remain live for up to three weeks. For the full list of entry requirements and details on how to apply, visit www.jet2careers.com/pilots/jet2flightpath/info.
