Skyborne, the premier airline training academy, has been selected as an official UK pilot training partner to easyJet, training 500 pilots over the next five years. Successful applicants on the easyJet Flightcrew Futures programme will receive a conditional job offer with easyJet as First Officers.

Lee Woodward, Chief Executive Officer, Skyborne, said: “Our new partnership with easyJet as an official UK training partner for the Flightcrew Futures programme marks a significant step, and we’re proud to support this next chapter in its pilot training approach. Our new five-year agreement is a true testament to our ability to train pilots of the highest quality and standards in the industry, and we take pride in this fact.”

“Many of Skyborne’s graduates have already earned their seats in the flight deck with easyJet, and through our dedicated team of experts, we’re committed to delivering 500 of the most talented and skilled individuals over the next five years, who will go on to fly passengers across Europe and beyond.”

Trainees on the Integrated ATPL Flightcrew Futures programme will receive mentorship from easyJet throughout their training journey with Skyborne.

Daniele Grassini, Director of Training and Standards for easyJet, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Skyborne to offer more opportunities to become a pilot at easyJet, where we offer the highest standards of industry-leading training and unrivalled opportunities for professional development and progression.”

“We would encourage anyone who is motivated and passionate about aviation to apply for this exciting and highly rewarding career, and look forward to welcoming even more Skyborne graduates onboard in the coming years.”

Training for the easyJet Flightcrew Futures programme will be delivered across Skyborne’s facilities in Gloucestershire and Bournemouth in the UK, and Vero Beach, Florida, in the US, with trainees progressing through ground school, flight training and Airline Pilot Standards Multi-Crew Cooperation (APS MCC) before joining easyJet.
