Kavala, Greece August 6th, 2019 – Egnatia Aviation and Cockpit4U signed an agreement which will address the ever increasing demand of airline pilots in the upcoming 20 years.

This new exciting partnership will allow cooperating Airlines to cover their recruitment needs through the most comprehensive ab-initio pilot training course followed by the most advanced type rating.

Egnatia Aviation Academy

Egnatia Aviation Training Academy is one of the leading Flight Training Organisations in Europe, providing pilots to many airlines around the world. It is approved by EASA to provide airline pilot training at all levels. The excellent weather and the low-cost environment of Greece, the unrestricted operation in 2 different bases and the excellent locations enables us to deliver consistent training all year round. We operate at international airports with modern navigation facilities rather than small General Aviation airports without the instruments required to provide airline training, said George Triantafyllidis, Business Development Director of Egnatia Aviation.

Egnatia Aviation provides training to the cadets of major airlines such as Olympic Air, Aegean Airlines, Iraqi Airways and Wizz Air. In addition, we provide pilots to EasyJet, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Air Arabia, Kuwait Airways, Oman Air and others, meeting local Authority and Airline recruitment needs. In all our courses we mirror the Airline procedures, methodology and environment (e.g. airline call-outs, iPads rather than paper etc.) focusing both on technical and non-technical skills (competencies). Our main goal is every graduate finds work, therefore the cooperation with Cockpit4U is a win-win situation for everyone, said Triantafyllidis.
