Cebu, Philippines – Airworks Aviation Academy, one of the largest flight schools in the Philippines, has welcomed Batch 4 of their Cebu Pacific Air Cadet Pilot Program, marking a new milestone as the largest cohort to date. The program welcomed 24 cadets—6 women and 18 men—who were selected from thousands of applicants through a rigorous screening process.

The launch was held with the presence of Capt. Franz Estavillo and signifies both organizations’ continued commitment to cultivating world-class pilot talent in the Philippines and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

In June 2024 Cebu Pacific (CEB), the fast growing Philippines based low-cost carrier operating over 80 aircraft, announced that it was partnering with Philippines based flight training organisation Airworks Aviation for its Cebu Pacific Cadet Pilot Program. The program is currently the only airline in the country offering this program, giving aspiring pilots high-quality training experience, mentorship, and guaranteed employment path with the airline. Over a five-year period, CEB will deploy a total of 240–300 Cadet Pilots to Airworks.

The 96 week program will see aspiring pilots get their Commercial Pilot License with Instrument Rating as well as a type rating on either Airbus A320 or ATR72-600.
