United Kingdom headquartered L3Harris Airline Academy, which conducts flight training in the UK and in the United States, has shared that Wizz Air UK will now recruit students in training as early as the completion of their first set of ground school exams.

Wizz Air UK joins British Airways and easyJet in providing a career pathway to students before they finish training. That’s three of the top six UK airlines who provide students with conditional offers of employment. That’s without mentioning the graduates employed after completion of training, too, with other airlines on that list, such as Jet2 and TUI. This year (2024) alone, 106 graduates have entered employment via these career pathways.

Earlier in the month L3Harris Airline Academy announced a new collaboration with the UK based University of West London (UWL) to launch the Integrated ATPL with BSc(Hons) Air Transport Management program. The 2 year combined ATPL and degree course offers career pathways to major airlines and access to funding options for those that qualify.
