The call for applications, open from May 12 to May 25, invites those who dream of flying professionally to apply through the airline\u2019s employment portal. There, they will find all the requirements and conditions of the program, designed to select high-potential candidates and provide them with direct financial support for their training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program is conducted in collaboration with FTEJerez (Flight Training Europe), one of the most renowned international flight schools. This partnership allows aspiring pilots to obtain their Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) through a 50% co-financing model with no interest, fully supervised by Iberia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rigorous Selection and Continuous Monitoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The airline not only participates in the initial selection process but also conducts ongoing performance monitoring of the cadets throughout their training. This system ensures that future pilots meet the highest standards in the aviation industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon completing their studies in Jerez, Iberia facilitates graduates\u2019 entry into the job market through the various airlines within the Iberia Group. From that moment, the new pilots begin repaying the financial support they received during their training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2025\/04\/year-round-flights-with-airbus-a321xlr-iberia-resumes-its-madrid-washington-dc-route.html\">Year-Round Flights with Airbus A321XLR: Iberia Resumes Its Madrid-Washington DC Route<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact and Real Opportunities in the Sector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To date, 51 pilots have joined Iberia after completing this program. In this new edition, 12 cadets will be selected to begin their training in September 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00d3scar Sordo, CEO of FTEJerez, emphasized: \u201cWe are proud that Iberia continues to rely on FTEJerez to train its next generation of pilots. This new edition of the cadet program reaffirms the trust placed in our center and highlights the momentum in commercial aviation, with a horizon full of opportunities for future professionals in the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For his part, Ramiro Sequeira, Iberia\u2019s Director of Production, underscored the significance of this moment: \u201cWe are at a decisive juncture for training new generations in technical professions, especially in aviation. The anticipated shortage of professionals in the coming years underscores the urgent need to train new pilots who can meet the highest standards of quality and preparedness. FTEJerez, with its renowned track record and excellence in pilot training, is our natural partner to tackle this challenge and ensure our future pilots are perfectly prepared for the demands of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This program represents not only a career opportunity but also a commitment to excellence and the development of young talent in aviation. With accessible financial conditions, top-tier training, and the backing of a leading airline, Iberia reinforces its commitment to the future of air transport and the sustainable growth of the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled uagb-block-815d8787     uagb-post__items uagb-post__columns-2 is-grid uagb-post__columns-tablet-2 uagb-post__columns-mobile-1 uagb-post__equal-height\" data-total=\"202\" style=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class='uagb-image-ratio-inherit'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-380x190.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Tocumen 2030: Hub of the Americas Projects 30 Million Passengers and a Strategic $220 Million Expansion<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post-grid-byline'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uagb-post__text uagb-post__cta wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link uagb-text-link\" style=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Read More<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/rebirth-of-a-hub-caracas-emerges-as-a-strategic-competitor-in-latin-america-iata-say.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class='uagb-image-ratio-inherit'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia.webp 800w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-380x190.webp 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/rebirth-of-a-hub-caracas-emerges-as-a-strategic-competitor-in-latin-america-iata-say.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Rebirth of a Hub?
