Skyborne Highlight UK Flight Instructor Offering in 2025 Nationwide Recruitment Drive for Flight Instructors

United Kingdom – Skyborne, the fast-growing global flight-training group, has launched a new recruitment drive for Flight Instructors across its Gloucestershire and Bournemouth training centres. The expansion comes amid a period of rapid growth for the organisation, supported by several high-profile airline-training partnerships secured over the past year.

  • Skyborne has recently been selected as the official UK partner for British Airways’ Speedbird Pilot Academy, the Ryanair Future Flyer Academy, and the Jet2FlightPath programme — significantly increasing demand for instructor capacity across its UK training network.

  • The academy is seeking experienced and ambitious Flight Instructors aligned with its airline-standard training philosophy, modern instructional practices and competency-based training approach.

  • Skyborne is offering a competitive compensation package including a £60,000 basic salary, an uncapped bonus scheme, sponsorship for additional ratings, MEP sponsorship, and PIC hour-building support.

  • Additional benefits include £100,000 loss-of-licence cover, healthcare insurance, generous paid leave, and flexible rostering structures.

  • The hiring campaign is also positioned as a lifestyle opportunity, with Skyborne highlighting the quality of life offered at its bases in the Cotswolds and along the Dorset coastline.

  • Established in 2019, Skyborne’s UK operations include seven DA42 twin-engine aircraft, a Zlin Z-242-L for UPRT, a 737 simulator, and three DA42 simulators.

  • Skyborne also operates its large Vero Beach campus in Florida, providing cadets with a multi-continent training environment and consistent access to year-round flying conditions.

  • The academy has so far graduated over 360 pilots and currently employs around 81 staff, with further growth planned.
