United Kingdom — Oxford Airline Training, established in June 2025 as a sister company to Triple J Aviation Engineering, has relaunched the respected Oxford pilot training brand at London Oxford Airport, UK. The company is investing significantly to deliver an expanded portfolio of UK CAA approved MODULAR professional pilot training programmes.

Operating from a 55,000 sq ft purpose-built facility, Oxford Airline Training will begin delivering its first modules in April 2026, including Airline Pilot Standards Multi-Crew Cooperation (APS MCC) and MCC Instructor training. These programmes will be conducted using both Airbus A320 and Boeing 737NG FTD1 simulators, supported by modern classrooms, briefing rooms, and high-quality operational spaces designed for an enhanced trainee and airline customer experience.

Additional modules—including Advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (AUPRT)—will follow in Spring 2026. Multi-Engine Class Rating, Instrument Rating, and Commercial Pilot Licence courses are planned for release later in 2026.

Training will be further supported by two DA42 FNPTII simulators, a Super Decathlon aircraft for AUPRT, and up to six Diamond DA42 TDI aircraft for multi-engine flight training. All simulators and aircraft will be maintained on-site at the same facility by Triple J Aviation Engineering, ensuring high fleet reliability and availability.

Graduates who complete all professional modules of training with Oxford Airline Training, will also benefit from a dedicated Airline Careers Centre service, designed to strengthen pathways into airline employment.

Co-founders Anthony Petteford and John Hardcastle (experienced leaders and investors in the aviation industry), highlighted the need for a modern, scalable, customeroriented and ethically operated Modular pilot training alternative in the UK:

“The Modular pilot training pathway is equally valid for airline entry and deserves the same level of investment, quality, and commitment as Integrated and MPL routes. Our overall goal is to deliver well-trained, resilient graduates while supporting airline diversity and recruitment objectives. Additionally, the establishment of our new centre not only rebirths the respected Oxford brand but also significantly expands the available pilot training capacity at a geographically convenient, accessible and well-invested central UK airport location.”
