Wizz Air has launched its Pilot Academy in Cyprus, offering a unique opportunity for Cypriot aspiring pilots to receive world-class training. The academy has already trained 185 pilots and currently hosts 90 students. The cost of training is high (over €100,000), but Wizz Air offers a funding model where candidates pay an initial investment of €14,000, with the remaining amount deducted from their salary during a five-year employment with the company. For female candidates, the initial investment is even lower, just €1,000, with a repayment period of six years. Applications are open to individuals over 18 years of age with a high school diploma and English language proficiency.
