Skyborne Airline Academy is partnering with DHL, a logistics company, on a fully funded Integrated Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) programme for DHL Air (UK) employees.
The first candidates from the airline’s East Midlands base have joined Skyborne to commence their UK CAA Integrated ATPL course, before becoming First Officers on one of DHL Air (UK)’s fleet of Boeing aircraft.
Debbie Moore, Head of Talent Management and Development, DHL Air (UK), says: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Skyborne for our first ever sponsored flight training initiative. With graduates from the academy already flying with DHL, we knew we were making the right choice. This cadet pilot programme gives an opportunity of a lifetime to our team members who could not otherwise afford the dream. Thanks to our funding and Skyborne’s expertise, our employees can pursue a pilot career with confidence.”
Jamie McKenzie, DHL Air (UK), says: "I've always dreamt of a flying career, but I never believed I'd be able to achieve it. I've been working at DHL for the last nine years, most recently as an Aircraft Handling Specialist on board our aircraft. Now I will begin my journey towards flying the aircraft I used to load. I'm incredibly thankful to DHL and Skyborne for providing me with this opportunity of a lifetime."
Skyborne’s partnership with DHL Air (UK) marks the second fully airline sponsored programme supported by the academy in the past 12 months.
