F AIR Welcomes Final Four Students from Vietnam Group 8 of Viet Flight Training

Czech Republic & Vietnam – Czech flight training organisation F AIR has welcomed the final group of Vietnamese student pilots from the VFT VNM8 intake to its Karlovy Vary Airport training base. The arrival continues the academy's collaboration with Viet Flight Training (VFT), supporting the development of future commercial airline pilots from Vietnam through overseas practical flight training.

• The latest group comprises four student pilots who arrived at Karlovy Vary Airport (LKKV) on October 26, 2026.
• The training forms part of F AIR's established cooperation with Viet Flight Training, a Vietnam Airlines-established pilot training organisation. The Czech academy provides international practical flight training supporting VFT's professional pilot development pathway.
• VFT's published training pathway includes an overseas phase lasting approximately six to 12 months, covering Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), Instrument Rating (IR) and multi-engine training. Cadets subsequently return to Vietnam for further airline transport pilot theoretical knowledge instruction, Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC) and jet familiarisation training.
• F AIR established its training relationship with VFT in 2023 following approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV). Karlovy Vary serves as the academy's principal international cadet training base, offering a controlled airport environment and on-site accommodation for more than 100 students.
