Airworks Aviation Academy Graduates 2nd Cebu Pacific Cadet Program Batch

Philippines – Airworks Aviation Academy, one of the Philippines' largest flight training institutions based in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, has announced the successful completion of the ab-initio training phase by Batch 2 of the Cebu Pacific Cadet Pilot Program, with all 19 cadets progressing to the next phase of their training pathway toward the airline's flight deck.

• The Batch 2 milestone continues the cadence of the Cebu Pacific Cadet Pilot Program, which has been scaling rapidly. In January 2026, Batch 5 was launched with 20 cadets (four women and sixteen men), and in December 2025, Airworks confirmed the intake of its 100th Cebu Pacific cadet — a milestone coinciding with Cebu Pacific reaching a 100-aircraft fleet.
• The program provides selected cadets with end-to-end pilot training leading to a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) with Multi-Engine and Instrument Ratings, aligned with Cebu Pacific's operational standards.
• The academy was established in 1993 and offers integrated and modular training programs from Private Pilot Licence through to Airline Transport Pilot standards, operating a fleet of Cessna and Piper aircraft from its Cebu base.
