Leading Edge Aviation marked the graduation of its 2025 class with a ceremony held on May 15 beneath the Concorde at Aerospace Bristol. The event honoured 74 pilot graduates, joined by nearly 300 guests, including family, instructors, and airline partners such as TUI, British Airways, Jet2.com, and Wizz Air.
Graduates received certificates and keepsake photos, celebrating their journey through the academy’s Whole Pilot training approach. Notable awards recognized top academic and flight performers, as well as those who demonstrated exceptional contributions to academy life.
Guest of Honour Captain Paul Hurst of TUI praised the professionalism and promise of the new graduates, calling them future industry leaders. CEO Andy McFarlane emphasized their dedication and the high standards upheld throughout training.
With more than 80% already employed by airlines, the graduates exemplify the academy’s mission to prepare confident, capable pilots ready to meet the evolving demands of modern aviation.
