Lufthansa is Currently Looking for over 2,000 Pilots

In an expansive move, the Lufthansa Group has set its sights on welcoming more than 2,000 fresh pilots into their ranks by the end of 2025, to accommodate their rapidly growing aviation fleet.

The newly launched 'flybig' recruitment drive aims to illuminate the captivating aspects of the pilot's vocation.

Under the banner "Pilot - Your Dream Job, Simply Enhanced," this innovative campaign consciously avoids conventional clichés. It acknowledges that tomorrow's pilots are not just aviators; they are the ultimate orchestrators, responsible for managing their flight crews and hosting passengers worldwide within a dynamic and diverse professional milieu.

The 'flybig' campaign caters to both aspiring aviators new to the profession and experienced pilots eager to transition to a Lufthansa Group airline. The Group's cockpit cadre represents a diverse spectrum of backgrounds, and with its flexible employment options, the Lufthansa Group provides tailor-made pilot positions to accommodate various lifestyles and circumstances. Notably, the Group is making a concerted effort to attract young women interested in pursuing a career in the cockpit. However, anyone seeking to occupy the coveted seats with the finest aerial vistas must demonstrate exceptional teamwork and superior interpersonal skills – as one campaign message aptly puts it, "Social skills: a vital instrument in the cockpit."

The Lufthansa Group's fresh pilot recruitment initiative is currently featured across online and print media, as well as on out-of-home advertising platforms and all major social media channels. The campaign's targeted messages for ready-entry pilots are also prominently featured in specialized online and print publications.

The 'flybig' campaign, which was initially launched in early 2023, plans to roll out additional promotional phases with a keen focus on recruiting cockpit personnel in the coming year. With the dual objective of refining the public perception of the pilot's profession and increasing the pool of applicants, the campaign effectively directs interested individuals to relevant career resources and the European Flight Academy (EFA) website, which serves as the flight school for the Lufthansa Group.

European Flight Academy: Nurturing Tomorrow's Aviators

The European Flight Academy, the esteemed flight school affiliated with the Lufthansa Group, is committed to nurturing the next generation of pilots. Its comprehensive two-year pilot training program includes a theoretical phase held in Bremen or Zurich, complemented by practical training in locations such as Goodyear (USA), Grenchen (Switzerland), or Rostock-Laage (Germany). To ensure the highest standards of safety and quality, all EFA flight training takes place using a standardized and state-of-the-art training aircraft fleet.

One key advantage of pilot training through the European Flight Academy is that graduates receive preferential consideration by the airlines within the Lufthansa Group, facilitating their seamless integration into the cockpit crew.
