European Flight Academy – The Flight Academy Campus Offering New Perspectives

OUR GOALS: QUALITY IN TRAINING AND THE BEST JOB PROSPECTS POSSIBLE

The flight school for challenging cockpit jobs

PILOT TRAINING AB INITIO WITH HIGH PRACTICAL RELEVANCE

The job of a pilot still fascinates a lot of people, and to many of them it is a dream job.

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

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

We are convinced that our EFA graduates will have the best prospects for a job in the cockpit of a Lufthansa Group airline. If you do not receive an offer for a job in the cockpit of a Lufthansa Group airline, we will reimburse you for 50% of your training costs. Find more information on the Take-off-Promise here.
