British Airways Pilot Recruitment

We plan to take on more than 800 new pilots by 2016, using three combined recruitment programmes:



– A new programme to help people to train to become airline pilots for the first time, called the ‘Future Pilot Programme’. 

– Recruitment of qualified pilots from other airlines

– A joint initiative with the UK Armed Forces to provide military pilots with a planned career path into commercial aviation. 



Our Future Pilot Programme will help about 400 applicants to gain a place at an approved flight training school, with successful candidates landing a job as a British Airways pilot, with the remaining 400 from experienced commercial and military pilots.



Previously people have been prevented or deterred from starting a career as an airline pilot, due to the initial private training costs of around £100,000, which they have had to find themselves. This programme helps students to secure funding to train as a pilot which they can pay back later in their career.
