Airbus launches new cadet pilot program
Airbus has launched an ab initio pilot training program as the airline industry faces the prospect of a growing deficit of trained flight deck personnel in coming years. The “Airbus Pilot Cadet Training Programme” is being launched in partnership with Escuela de Aviacion Mexico (EAM), located close to the Airbus Mexico Training Centre. After completing their initial training with EAM, cadets will qualify at the centre to become Airbus A320 pilots. EAM trains 200 cadets per year. The new Airbus program will be open to young people over 18 who have graduated from high school; candidates will undergo screening tests both online and on-site. The first batch of cadets should start training in Jan 2019, graduating in July 2020. Airbus said it plans similar partnerships worldwide in coming years. <br/>
