SIPLAP, the Sindicato de Pilotos de LATAM Peru or LATAM Pilot’s Union in Peru has created a scholarship opportunity for family members to study in the USA. The airline’s numbers are growing and the organization in partnership with Wayman Aviation Academy finds that flight training in the USA is a fast, economic, and viable option for aspiring aviators to join the airline.

SIPLAP will have $3,000 worth of scholarships to offer student candidates. This will help cover enrollment fees associated with student visas. Students will have to receive a letter of recommendation from a SIPLAP member and be selected by the board. This scholarship will renew every year.

LATAM is the premier airline operating in Peru with over 500 pilots. As an international carrier it is important that all pilot-applicants speak excellent english. Training in the USA guarantees this along with the varied experience of flying in Florida USA. The FAA pilot certificate is the one of the most widely recognized pilot credentials. It can be converted to the Peruvian commercial pilot certificate with ease.

Wayman Aviation Academy has trained many LATAM captains over the last 35 years. Wayman Alumni serve in the cockpit, the training department and throughout the airline.
