easyJet / Skyborne | A320 Cadet

Skyborne Airline Academy is offering aspiring pilots the opportunity to join the easyJet FlightCrew Futures cadet pilot pathway. This comprehensive programme provides a structured training route for individuals with little to no prior flying experience, culminating in a potential career as an easyJet pilot, operating aircraft such as the Airbus A320. Applications are currently open for this pathway, with successful candidates having the potential to receive a conditional offer of employment with easyJet prior to commencing their flight training.
