Becoming a commercial pilot is one of the most exciting and challenging careers you can choose. It involves much more than traditional aviation skills, important though these are. From the flight deck of a British Airways aircraft, you will have the opportunity to develop and utilise the same people management, customer service and business skills that are important to any successful organisation.

It's one reason why so many of the best pilots and potential pilots choose British Airways as their ultimate career goal. Another is the sheer variety available. With over 200 destinations and a huge range of aircraft - everything from the Boeing 777-200 to the Airbus A-319/320 - we can help take your career in any direction.

Currently all future British Airways pilots are recruited through our Direct Entry Pilot Scheme This is only for those who already have flying expertise, either gained with HM Services or in the commercial aviation industry.
