Skyborne Airline Academy Vero Beach has been chosen by European ATO Hub’air to train up to 40 pilots a year at its base in Florida. Hub’air trainees will join Skyborne for their US FAA Part 141 Private Pilot License and Instrument Rating (PPL/IR), building an additional 88 flying hours in the academy’s Piper Warrior aircraft. After completing their PPL/IR, the cadets will return to Luxembourg, Europe, to complete their airline transport pilot license (ATPL) theory, and undergo their FAA-to-EASA licence conversion at Hub’air’s Avignon facility before graduating with full Commercial Pilot License/IR/Multi-Engine Piston/Multi Crew Coordination (CPL/IR/MEP/MCC).

Lee Woodward, Chief Executive Officer, Skyborne, says: “With news of recent recruitment drives by Ryanair and route expansions by easyJet, we’re confident that European air travel will soon return with some vigour, and Hub’air graduates will be well-placed to meet the forecast surge in demand for airline pilots.”

The first Hub’air trainees will arrive from August 2021.
