Captain Karl O’Neill, Chief Instructor ATO/Recruitment, said, “We are looking for candidates with diverse backgrounds to join our team.
“Aer Lingus has a proud tradition in pilot training and has been offering Future Pilot Training Programmes for almost sixty years. These programmes offer candidates a unique opportunity to join our expanding team as an Aer Lingus Pilot via this fully sponsored scheme.
“Whether you have just finished school/college or simply want to change career, this could be the right move for your future. Many of our pilots have joined us from other industries, and we urge you to consider doing the same.
“Successful applicants will complete 14 months of basic training in Jerez, Spain followed by a four-month transition course on the A320 Family of aircraft at the Aer Lingus Training Academy in Dublin.
