The KLM Flight Academy and the Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen formally perpetuated their long-standing collaboration. During this festive moment, both parties signed a renewed cooperation agreement. This means that the Airline Pilot & Management major, the combination of Industrial Engineering and Management and the training to become a commercial pilot at the KLM Flight Academy, is also well secured for the future.
Unique opportunity
Bart de Vries, director of KLM Flight Academy: ‘Thanks to the collaboration between the two educational institutions, we offer our students a unique opportunity; By following the combined programme, the student will be in possession of a pilot’s license and a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Engineering and Management upon completion. Once employed as a commercial pilot, this offers a broad basis for other functions, such as a role in the management of training courses or pilots.’
Airline Pilot and Management
KLM Flight Academy and the Hanze University of Applied Sciences have been offering the combination of Business Administration and Business Administration training at KLM for a number of years now. Legislative changes made it necessary to formally reconfirm the cooperation through a revised agreement. After registration at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences and having successfully completed the selection process at the KLM Flight Academy, students can then start the flight training in Eelde halfway through the second academic year. After obtaining the pilot’s license, students will graduate from the Hanze University of Applied Sciences. For example, the student has a Bachelor of Science and a pilot’s license.
Looking for future pilots!
After a few difficult years due to corona, the aviation recovery is strong: KLM has already hired dozens of graduates of the KLM Flight Academy this year. KLM is expected to hire several hundred new pilots over the next 4 to 5 years, so graduates from its own flight school have a positive outlook. After registering for the AP&M course at Hanze University, interested parties can register for the selection process of the KLM Flight Academy.

Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology is American’s first collegiate partner for its Cadet Academy.
American Airlines and Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology announce a new partnership to expand the American Airlines Cadet Academy for aspiring pilots. Spartan, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the Cadet Academy’s first collegiate partner offering an Associate of Applied Science degree in Aviation Flight and increases its training network to five locations.
“The American Airlines Cadet Academy is designed to address all of the obstacles associated with a traditional flight training path,” said Christina Flores, Managing Director of Aviation Recruiting and Programs at American Airlines. “We are thrilled to offer a new pathway which includes building flight time while working towards a college degree with the support of mentorship and financial aid.”
Through this new partnership with Spartan College, American Airlines cadets have an opportunity to earn their FAA certificates and ratings, as well as their Associate of Applied Science degree. The Aviation Flight program at Spartan College can be completed in as few as 17 months with reduced ATP hours, housing options, and financial aid for those who qualify. Certified Flight Instructors may also continue their education to earn a Bachelor of Science in Technology Management degree from Spartan.
“Spartan is well known for providing broad access to aspiring pilots from all backgrounds and for the high standards of our flight training,” said Rob Polston, Chief Executive Officer at Spartan College. “We are committed to working with American Airlines to train a pipeline of new pilots to meet their needs for years to come. We are honored to partner with one of the world’s leading airlines and train the next generation of pilots in their innovative Cadet Academy.”
Since its launch in 2018, nearly 700 cadets have entered the Cadet Academy, and more than 100 have already graduated with the program.
The American Airlines Cadet Academy has a unique financial partnership dedicated to supporting cadets entering the program. The goal is to eliminate the financial barriers prospective pilots face and support the growth of the pilot population while creating greater diversity among future and current pilot ranks.
Students enrolled in the Cadet Academy will be paired with an American Airlines pilot mentor to guide them through the journey. Qualifying cadets also have access to American Airlines Federal Credit Union’s Cadet Loan Program for financial assistance in covering the cost of training. Upon completion of the required flight hours, American’s three wholly owned regional carriers (Envoy, Piedmont, and PSA) will offer graduates an interview. If hired by one of these regional airlines, cadets are well on their way to working at American Airlines.
