    Hi Aryo.


    If you mean the Speedbird Pilot Academy, we only accept people with the unrestricted right to live and work in the UK. This requirement is not generally met by any sponsorship or visas as it is not just for the training but also for working at British Airways which is UK based.


    I hope this answers your question.

    Thanks for your reply.

    After my ATPL course, I'd like to work as a flight instructor and after 2-3 years and getting a european passport I want to apply for pilot.

    Is it acceptable for you?


    Best regards

    Hi Aryo.


    We have various recruitment campaigns and I'm sure there will be many more in the future. If you do not have the right to work in the UK then you would need to be eligible for one of our campaigns that allows us to sponsor you as a skilled worker.


    All flying experience will help build your skills, however, we also require hours on large aircraft for the majority of our roles so you would need to consider this.


    Good luck with your training and we look forward to meeting you in the future.


    Kate
