Ab Initio Pilot Training

The European Flight Academy has been the flight school of the Lufthansa Group since 2017. Today, the academy trains prospective pilots for airlines within Lufthansa Group or outside it on a fleet of modern training aircraft and state-of-the-art flight simulators stationed in Germany and Switzerland. 

The European Flight Academy accessed the treasure trove of more than 60 years of flight-academy training experience for Lufthansa and SWISS as well as its practical airline relevance in devising a new concept that is aimed at making the flight school less affected by fluctuations of the market, thus offering the student pilots more stability in training.

As an ab-initio flight school the European Flight Academy offers the possibility of priority access to the Lufthansa Group cockpits – without full ready-entry assessment in the airlines’ recruitment process that follows later.

You can find all detailed information about the training program, prerequisites, and the application process on the European Flight Academy website.
