British Airways Cadet Programme 2024. The creation of the british airways speedbird pilot academy will see the cost barrier of training to become an airline pilot removed, making the profession much more. We want to make becoming a british airways pilot a reality for anyone with the ability and drive to succeed.
When it first started in 2023, the scheme saw 20,000 applicants compete for just 100 spots. Our aim is to attract the very best talent out there for our future generation of pilots.
