Graduate feature: Luke Sandiford

Luke Sandiford recently finished his flight training with Skyborne and had the chance to reflect fondly on his incredible journey.

He didn’t come from an Aviation background but did a related degree, built up his PPL hours whilst at University and took each stage in his stride with the challenges presented.

Luke is going onto a career with British Airways into 2025, and we wish him all the best as a commercial pilot. It has been a pleasure and we hope you stay in touch with us into your exciting future.

Luke had this to say about his journey:

‘My favourite part of all this is the final stages because you’re pulling everything together, it’s like the whole picture becomes clear. You see your future and realise you are where you are supposed to be’
