What is the Airbus Pilot Cadet Training Programme?

Nurturing the future generation of captains to become airline leaders for a safe and sustainable aviation

More than just getting a licence, the Airbus Pilot Cadet Training Programme is a philosophy, a mindset, aimed at progressively acquiring key pilot technical and behavioural skills that airlines expect from their pilots.

Providing the initial (ab-initio) phases allows us to accompany future airline pilots from the beginning throughout their flight training path, to obtain a commercial pilot’s license as well as to become type-rated later on.

We build aircraft. We train pilots to operate them while placing individuals at the heart.
