Loganair selects Skyborne for Integrated ATPL partnership

Skyborne Airline Academy has partnered with Loganair, offering a ‘tagging’ opportunity with the UK’s largest regional airline.

Under the initiative, Skyborne Integrated ATPL trainees will have the opportunity to be ‘tagged’ by Loganair upon successful completion of their first six-months of ATPL ground school; receiving priority placement in the airline’s hold pool prior to graduation. Skyborne is the first academy to partner with Loganair to tag Integrated ATPL trainees.

Carla Booth, Commercial Director (UK), Skyborne, says: “At Skyborne, our aspiring airline pilots are at the heart of everything we do and through our new partnership with Loganair, I’m proud we can offer a path to a rewarding career with a thriving airline.

“Offering security to our trainees through job opportunities is important, and we look forward to seeing them soar with Loganair.”

Jordan Jennings, Flight Crew Recruiter, Loganair, says: “It’s become apparent from our first intake of Skyborne trainees that the quality of the training provided is incredibly high and therefore embarking on this partnership was an easy decision for Loganair.

“We are proud to be working as a partner for the Integrated ATPL tagging initiative which allows us to meet the growing demand for regional travel with highly skilled, qualified individuals as part of our crews.

“The successful graduates from Skyborne will join the Loganair family where they will fly our dynamic fleet of turboprops and regional aircraft to unique locations including Barra and Tiree, across the UK and Europe.”

Once tagged, trainees will receive mentoring from Loganair throughout the remainder of their studies across Skyborne’s US and UK bases, before going on to undertake type rating training with Loganair.

Skyborne’s new partnership with Loganair adds to a host of relationships with some of the world’s leading airlines, including British Airways, Delta Air Lines, SkyWest and IndiGo.
