    How to apply become a new pilot application please let me know

    Hi -


    Historically, applications for a new intake have been made at the beginning of the year, yet this has not yet been confirmed for 2026. The best thing I could advise, would be to sign up for career alerts here: Search our Job Opportunities at British Airways (scroll to the bottom of the page).


    Having a career around aviation would certainly help, we're looking for people that have a great desire to become a pilot. Those showing definitively that their dream is to become a pilot at British Airways, will make it through the initial screening phase, then they will undergo further testing; online and in person. For a better idea of the application process, have a look at this link: Speedbird Pilot Academy Preparation.


    I'm hoping that the Academy opens up for applications again soon, and if you do choose to apply, I wish you the best of luck!
