Airbus Flight Academy Europe (AFAE)<\/strong>, a 100% subsidiary of Airbus, has inaugurated a new campus, in Angoul\u00eame, South-West France. During the ceremony, Airbus confirmed that Volotea, the Barcelona-based airline, is the first to recruit its Airbus pilot cadets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move by Volotea to recruit eleven of Airbus\u2019 newly graduated pilot cadets is an endorsement of the quality of Airbus\u2019 Ab-Initio Training Programme, which opened its doors in 2019. The programme equips cadets with the skills and mind-set required to become an \u201coperationally-ready pilot\u201d focusing on the all-important development of key pilot technical and behavioural competencies. Currently in the final stages of their pilot training, the Airbus cadets will be joining Volotea and flying as commercial airline pilots from April-May this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a very important day for Volotea, as we are taking cadets directly from the Airbus Flight Academy Europe for the first time. We\u2019re all very excited by it as we know the programme quality is of a very high standard, adapting perfectly to Volotea\u00b4s training philosophy, said Carlos Mu\u00f1oz, CEO Volotea. Our company keeps on growing year after year our Airbus fleet, and we\u2019re going to be needing many more pilots. We certainly hope this is the beginning of a very successful long-term partnership with the Airbus Flight Academy benefiting many young pilots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inauguration of the new facility provides AFAE, which is the first flight school to deliver the Airbus Pilot Cadet Training Programme in Europe, with an increased capacity to train up-to 200 pilot cadets at any one time. The site, which spans 4.7 hectares,includes a new building of approx. 3200m\u00b2 which will be dedicated to the training of aspiring pilots with 14 classrooms and briefing rooms, a simulator hall, an auditorium and a restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By enlarging its ab-initio training base, Airbus reaffirms its longstanding commitment to support its airline customers in anticipating and preparing for the future. In helping to train the pilots of tomorrow, a demand now estimated to be around 550,000 over the next 20 years*, Airbus is ensuring the commercial aircraft industry is ready for air traffic recovery in the 2023-2025 timeframe and the years beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Airbus Pilot Cadet Training Programme is open to high school graduates over 18 years old worldwide. Candidates will undergo online and on-site screening tests before being eligible for training which will include 750+ hours of ground school, plus 200 hours of practical (flight and simulator) training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
