Pilot Careers Live Professional Flight Training Awards

Pilot Careers Live, Europe’s leading event for prospective commercial pilots, is excited to announce the launch of the Pilot Careers Live Professional Flight Training Awards, which will recognise excellence within this hugely competitive sector.

The awards, sponsored by FLYER, will celebrate attainment and dedication across ten categories covering flight training organisations, students and instructors. The awards ceremony will take place just before Pilot Careers Live London in March 2025.

The achievements of individual students will be recognised via separate categories reflecting the unique challenges of the different licence routes, namely Modular, Integrated and MPL.
