BAA Training starts partnership for a cadet program with Small Planet Airlines
The Airline operates a fleet of 17 Airbus A320
and 4 Airbus A321 aircraft and is looking for aspiring future pilots to join
their team at the beginning of 2018. The first stage of the partnership
involves the program for people who already hold a private pilot licence
(PPL(A)), have built flight time and passed all the ATPL theory exams. After a preselection
process developed by BAA Training and
Small Planet Airlines, one can start
Instrument Rating, Multi-Engine Piston as well as Commercial Pilot Licence
modules (IR+MEP+CPL) and continue with Airbus A320 or A321 Type Rating needed
for the airline. After a successful completion of these courses at BAA Training, candidates will be employed
and offered to go forward with improving their professional skills at the airline.
“When aviation industry faces a great demand
for pilots, we as an aviation academy are ready to take responsibility and
support both parties by finding an airline which is willing to engage with
future pilots from their first steps in aviation training as well as right
candidates who comply with airline’s requirements and values,” explains Egle Vaitkeviciute, CEO of BAA Training.
An upcoming Small
Planet Airlines Cadet Program will be yet another step in the company’s
engagement with its future First Officers. A Cadet student will be granted the
letter of engagement even before starting ATPL Integrated training, it means
right after passing the preselection process at BAA Training aviation academy.
“Small
Planet Airlines is famous for strong values and culture. We are happy to
announce Cadet program, where we are going to select and train entry pilots in
our culture. We are going to continue our growth to achieve our ambition, so we
have a strong demand for pilots joining our airline“, says Kristijonas Kaikaris, CEO of Small
Planet Airlines Lithuania.
