The ready-entry pool of the Lufthansa Group

COOPERATION PROGRAM WITH SELECTED INTERNATIONAL QUALITY FLIGHT SCHOOLS

In European countries where the European Flight Academy does not operate its own flight schools, but where Lufthansa Group airlines are headquartered, we currently initiate a cooperation with carefully selected partner flight schools, which will be extended in the future.

This presents an alternative way for the student pilots to complete their training in their home country and to have a good chance of finding a cockpit job with a suitable airline through the Lufthansa Group's ready-entry pool. Graduates of the European Flight Academy are given priority in filling cockpit jobs that become available, followed by the students in the "ready-entry pool", who will get the opportunity to be considered for these positions.

Approximately half a year before the end of their training, the partner school’s student pilots are provided with access to the EFA Campus, a digital marketplace for cockpit jobs within the Lufthansa Group.

The ready-entry-application processes are individually designed by the different Lufthansa Group Airlines.

About Skywings

Skywings Flight Training is an international flight school with its main base at Antwerp airport, Belgium. They started up in 2016 as a joint initiative of airline pilots with an extensive training background, both in airline training and initial flight training, who wanted to offer flight training exclusively for those people who aspire a career as an airline pilot.

Skywings offers a fulltime integrated ATPL training and has created a training environment that is as close as possible to a real airline environment. For that, they count on a team of highly motivated flight and ground instructors who are active or retired airline pilots, a requirement to become an instructor at Skywings. They operate out of their modern campus that is directly linked to their airplane hangar.

After having completed the last step of their flight training, the APS MCC on the Airbus A320 simulator, which is also located on campus, students have fanned out to fly commercial aircraft in all corners of Europe, but most of them have found employment as a first officer on the Airbus at Lufthansa Group Airline Brussels Airlines.
