As a British Airways Pilot your goal will be to provide the very best flight experience possible. Wherever you are going, your flying will be world-class. The life of a British Airways pilot is both challenging and exciting. Join one of the most progressive international airlines in the industry, and you’ll be expected, every day, to perform to the highest standards.

We don’t just recruit talented pilots, we’re looking for ambitious, proud professionals committed to exceeding expectations and becoming better every day. In short, the Captains of the future. Far beyond the flight deck, you’ll be respected for the difference you make. You can be proud to lead a superb customer-centric operation. With you on board, we’ll achieve our vision to become the ‘most admired airline’.

In return, we’ll offer a greater choice of fleet types and routes, both long and shorthaul, than any other UK airline. You can fly the world’s most modern fleet including the new Boeing 787 and Airbus A380.

If you already have flying expertise gained in the commercial industry, you can apply via our Direct Entry Pilot Scheme.

If you’re a Service Pilot in the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, Royal Marines or Army Air Corps, you can apply via our Managed Path – Direct Entry Pilot Scheme. We offer a brilliant new challenge and great rewards.

If you’re an aspiring pilot with little or no flying experience, our Future Pilot Programme could help you realise your dream.

Whichever route is right for you, you’ll need impressive determination, impeccable professionalism and total devotion to our customers. We’ll provide you with world-class training, invaluable experience and the rewards and career progression you would expect from a global premium airline.
