For several years, FTEJerez has been training aspiring pilots to a level where they can complete their type rating course to operate Ryanair Group’s Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 aircraft.
Through the new Future Flyer Academy program, this initial training is combined with the type rating qualification to accelerate the pilot training process.
“We are delighted to launch the Future Flyer Academy in partnership with FTEJerez in Spain. By combining Ryanair’s industry-leading expertise with FTEJerez’s world-class training programs, our Future Flyer Academy will create unprecedented opportunities for hundreds of aspiring aviators looking to start a well-paid career in aviation as a commercial pilot,” commented Ryanair’s Country Manager in Spain, Elena Cabrera.
