Alternative entry into Lufthansa Group Cockpits

Selected partner flight schools

The ready-entry pool of the Lufthansa Group

Cooperation program with selected international quality flight schools

In European countries where the European Flight Academy does not operate its own flight schools, but where Lufthansa Group airlines are headquartered, we currently initiate a cooperation with carefully selected partner flight schools, which will be extended in the future.

This presents an alternative way for the student pilots to complete their training in their home country and to have a good chance of finding a cockpit job with a suitable airline through the Lufthansa Group's ready-entry pool. Graduates of the European Flight Academy are given priority in filling cockpit jobs that become available, followed by the students in the "ready-entry pool", who will get the opportunity to be considered for these positions.

The EFA Campus team supports the graduates of the partner flight schools in their search for available cockpit jobs and in getting in contact with the hiring airlines


The ready-entry-application processes are individually designed by the different Lufthansa Group Airlines.
