Batch of Integrated ATPL Alumnus Make Their Way to the Big Leagues

Skyborne Airline Academy has Announced the success of a handful of graduates who have successfully made their way to Wizz Air UK with their UKCAA Integrated ATPLs. 

Skyborne released the list of successful graduates: Adam Prince, Christopher Coles, Matt Langridge, Thomas Pearson and James Mosscrop. In addition, they placed modular ATPL alumnus Henry Wallace, with the company. The former students will fly the Airbus A320 and A321 family aircraft across Wizz Air UK’s growing network. Since completing their studies, Skyborne has provided one-on-one support to help its graduates find airline placements, in addition to offering simulator assessment and interview preparation.

Carla Booth, head of recruitment at Skyborne said “We understand just how competitive this industry can be, particularly since the start of the pandemic. At Skyborne we invest in our recruitment process, facilities and unique educational approach, so every one of our trainees complete their flight training with an airline mindset, enabling us to supply the highest calibre of pilots. I’m so proud of this group for staying positive despite the obstacles they’ve faced, and for performing so well in the interview process. I wish them all the luck in their new roles and can’t wait to see what the rest of our graduates get up to in the coming months.”

One of the new recruits, James Mosscrop, thanked the school for its help in building his career, “I’d like to thank the Skyborne team for their constant support over the last two years. Throughout this uncertain period, Skyborne supported us with virtual learning and keeping our skills fresh. Even after graduation, the academy’s extensive relationships across the industry helped create interview opportunities."

He began his A320 type rating on the 1st of February, and expects to start flying the line in coming months.
