FTEJerez Celebrates First British Airways Cadets Completing IR Skill Test at New Oxford, UK Base

Spain & United Kingdom– FTEJerez has announced that its first cohort of British Airways Speedbird cadets (six in total) have successfully passed their Instrument Rating (IR) skill tests at FTEJerez’s newly launched London‑Oxford base — achieving a 100 % pass rate.

• The success underscores the promise of the newly established UK training base  , which FTEJerez inaugurated in mid‑2025. The Oxford base is intended to support BA cadets and self‑sponsored trainees pursuing a UK or dual (EASA/UK) licence.
•  British Airways’ Speedbird Pilot Academy is its fully funded cadet programme  launched to lower financial barriers to pilot training. It covers the full cost of training for successful applicants.
•  Over 50 cadets are currently undergoing integrated pilot training  at FTEJerez under the fully funded scheme.
