Ryanair has launched its new Future Flyer Academy pilot training programme in partnership with Irish-based flight school, Atlantic Flight Training Academy (AFTA), which will see over 400 aspiring pilots join the airline group as second officers over the next four years.
Ryanair’s Future Flyer Academy offers aspiring pilots the opportunity to kickstart their aviation career as a commercial airline through a combination of classroom, simulator, and practical training with a defined path to employment as a second officer with Ryanair.
For several years, AFTA has been training aspiring pilots to a standard where they can complete their Type Rating course to operate Ryanair’s Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 aircraft. Through Ryanair’s new Future Flyer Academy programme, this initial training is combined with the Type Rating qualification to fast-track pilot training progression. Ryanair also guarantees candidates a job as a commercial pilot with the airline upon the successful completion of the programme.
Applications for Ryanair’s Future Flyer Academy with AFTA are open now – for more information visit careers.ryanair.com or apply at www.afta.ie/ryanair.
