Gloucestershire, UK \u2013 03 July, 2025: <\/b>Skyborne Airline Academy<\/span><\/a> is proud to be chosen by Ryanair to train the next generation of aspiring pilots through the Future Flyer Academy training programme, offering UK entrants a dual UK CAA and EASA licence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Lee Woodward, Chief Executive Officer, Skyborne, says: \u201cHaving secured EASA approval to support this initiative, this is the first time Skyborne is offering UK trainees the opportunity to gain a dual UK CAA and EASA licence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to contribute to the industry\u2019s growth by providing Ryanair with pilots who meet and exceed the highest standards of professionalism and expertise. This collaboration underscores the growing demand for streamlined pathways to the flight deck and the exceptional quality of our airline cadet programmes, which consistently produce highly skilled and well-prepared individuals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Prospective trainees will have the option to select an ab-initio, Modular, or Airline Pilot Standard Multi-Crew Cooperation Course (APS MCC) route.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Neal McMahon, Chief Operations Officer, Ryanair, says: \u201cWe are delighted to launch the Future Flyer Academy in partnership with Skyborne Airline Academy in the UK. By combining Ryanair\u2019s industry-leading expertise with Skyborne\u2019s excellent training programmes, our Future Flyer Academy will create unparalleled opportunities for 100\u2019s of aspiring pilots who are looking to kickstart a well-paid career in aviation as a commercial pilot.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cRyanair\u2019s new Future Flyer Academy training programme shows our continued commitment to supporting, developing and recruiting aspiring pilots for future positions as we take delivery of over 300 Boeing 737 MAX-10 aircraft over the next 10 years. Ryanair looks forward to growing the careers of many more Skyborne pilot trainees through our Future Flyer Academy over the years to come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>
