Today, already the 29th group of 17 students began their professional pilot studies at the airBaltic Pilot Academy of the Latvian national airline airBaltic. They aim to receive a commercial pilot license upon completing the full-time airline transport pilot program.
Pauls Cālītis, Chief Operations Officer at airBaltic: “It is a pleasure to welcome the new group of students – the first of this academic year. Their choice to pursue a pilot career reflects the continued demand for highly skilled aviation professionals. Each new group of cadets represents an important investment in the next generation of pilots who will support airBaltic’s future growth and the wider aviation industry.”

The new group includes students from Austria, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Spain.
There are 175 active students at the airBaltic Pilot Academy at the moment. Most of them are from the Baltic countries, however, there are students also from other EU countries such as Denmark, Germany, France, Finland, Spain and Italy among others. Overall, more than 10% of airBaltic Pilot Academy students are female.
Over the years, 164 graduates of the airBaltic Pilot Academy have become employees of the airline – most of them now flying as First Officers, with several also taking on roles as training instructors. Notably, last year five former Pilot Academy graduates upgraded to Captain. This achievement demonstrates the strength of the program and the clear career path from cadet to Captain.
Students of the airBaltic Pilot Academy have to cover the costs of ATPL theory studies and 45 flight hours, at a cost of EUR 25 000. After passing airBaltic pilot assessment and becoming an employee of the company, the airline will provide financing (loan) for the rest of the studies.
