Description

The flag carrier Air France has launched a new recruitment campaign as part of its "Cadet Pilots" program, with the aim of hiring 300 pilots this year. The two-year training program, fully funded by the French airline company, seeks to provide the theoretical and practical skills necessary to become a pilot. As the largest private employer in the Île de France region, Air France is currently employing around 4,000 pilots and is aiming to increase the number of women in the profession.

It is the first business expansion recorded by Air France in the ERM database since 2019: Air France 2020 - FR , Air France 2020 - FR , Air France 2019 - FR .
