Hi there! I’m wondering when/if BA’s speedbird pilot academy will open for applications this year? With TUI’s being cancelled and Jet2’s already being closed, it seems unclear whether BA will be hiring this year.
First, please accept my sincerest apologies for the delay in getting back to you. There have been lots of queries recently and I’m truly sorry that I couldn't get this information to you before the application window closed.
The Speedbird Pilot Academy is a very fast-moving program! For the 2026 intake, applications opened on April 14th and closed just a few days ago on April 23rd.
I hope you were able to get an application in, if so best of luck!
