Skyborne graduates embark on careers with Wizz Air

Skyborne Airline Academy is celebrating six graduates who have secured jobs as First Officers with Wizz Air UK, Europe’s fastest growing and greenest airline.
UKCAA Integrated ATPL graduates Adam Prince, Christopher Coles, Matt Langridge, Thomas Pearson and James Mosscrop, as well as UKCAA Modular ATPL graduate Henry Wallace, will fly the Airbus A320/21 family aircraft across Wizz Air UK’s ever-developing network.

Since completing their studies, Skyborne has provided one-on-one support to help its graduates find airline placements, as well as offering simulator assessment and interview preparation via the academy’s Skills Continuation Training promise.

Carla Booth, Skyborne’s Head of Recruitment, 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.”

James Mosscrop, Skyborne graduate and new recruit to Wizz Air UK, said: “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.

“I started my A320 Type Rating on 1 February and I’m really looking forward to putting into practice all of the training I’ve received from Skyborne and to see my fellow graduates wearing the Wizz Air UK uniform in the skies!”
