Wizz Air Announces Pilot Academy in Cyprus

Wizz Air has announced the launch of the Wizz Air Pilot Academy (WAPA) in Cyprus, offering Cypriot pilot candidates access to world-class training with a unique funding model for the first time. The program is aimed at individuals over the age of 18 with a high school diploma and strong skills in mathematics and physics. The training lasts approximately two years, and graduates will have the opportunity to work as First Officers at Wizz Air. The company will be hosting an Open Day on January 25th in Larnaca, where interested parties can learn about the application process. WAPA aims to make the profession of a pilot more accessible by offering an affordable payment system for training. The company expects high interest from Cypriot candidates, as Cyprus is an important hub for its operations. The launch of WAPA in Cyprus is a significant investment in education and employment, while also strengthening Wizz Air's position in the region.
