airBaltic PilotAcademyhas improved the payment structure for its commercial pilot study program. As of now, after successfully passing company’s assessment, airBalticwill finance a significant part of the studies.
“The relatively high cost of studies was a significant obstacle for aspiring young students to join the airBaltic Pilot Academyto become future airline pilots,” Pauls Cālītis, airBaltic Chief Operations Officer. “This new system demonstrates airBaltic’s commitment to Pilot Academy and will enable more students to reach their dream of becoming a pilot.”
Students of the airBaltic Pilot Academywill now have to cover the costs of studies until obtaining a private pilot licence, costing approximately EUR 15 000. After passing the airBalticpilot assessment and becoming an employee of the company, the airline will provide financing for the rest of the studies.
Overall, there are now 90 active students at airBaltic Pilot Academy. Most of the students are from Baltic countries, however, there are students also from other European Union countries such as Germany, France, Finland, Spain and Italy among others. More than 10% of airBaltic Pilot Academy students are female.
On May 6, airBaltic Pilot Academywill hold an Open Days event at the airBaltic Trainingfacilities in Riga.
