Katherine Miller, Skyborne graduate and Second Officer at DHL Air UK, says: “What initially drew me to Skyborne is how the academy focuses on tailoring training to airline standards and this is what really helped with my transition into becoming a Second Officer with DHL. The support I received from Skyborne after graduating was great. I took full advantage of the interview and simulator preparation on offer to me, and this proved instrumental in securing my role at DHL, which I begin in October 2022.”
Woodward adds: “Now more than ever, our industry needs pilots and we need them fast. At Skyborne, we offer a unique educational approach at our world-class facilities in Gloucestershire Airport and Vero Beach, Florida, ensuring our trainees have the best training possible. We have become one of the most trusted airline academies in the industry and we’re determined to inspire a new generation of commercial pilots.

There’s no better time than now to begin your commercial pilot training with Skyborne.”
