British Airways increases Speedbird Pilot Academy funding from 100 to 200 aspiring pilots, investing £21m for two-year training.
British Airways plans to fully fund 200 aspiring pilots' training in a £21 million investment effort to boost social mobility and diversity among its pilots. The two-year training program typically costs around £100,000, which has been a barrier for many potential aviators. The initiative, called the Speedbird Pilot Academy, was initially set to fund 100 places in 2025, but the number has now doubled to 200.
