SWISS to Recruit New Pilots this 2023

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is set to resume the recruitment and training of new pilots this 2023 after such activities were suspended in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. The airline will also be newly employing eighty (80) First Officers who have already completed their training with Lufthansa Aviation Training Switzerland (LAT).

“We are really pleased that, after a two-year hiring freeze, we can now offer a new generation of SWISS pilots job prospects, career perspectives and an attractive workplace aloft, and can welcome more new colleagues to our cockpit crew corps. We’re looking to train new cockpit personnel now, to ensure that we continue to meet all our cockpit crewing needs for our SWISS flight operations,” according to Stefan-Kenan Scheib, Head of Flight Operations at SWISS.

The two-year training of SWISS’ new pilots will be conducted by the LAT-operated European Flight Academy (EFA). The training will take place at various locations including Opfikon and Grenchen in Switzerland and Goodyear (Arizona) in the USA.

“Now is the ideal time for talented young individuals to seek a cockpit career. As the Lufthansa Group’s Swiss-based training organization, we offer our applicants high-quality basic and further flight training with SWISS instructors and a state-of-the-art training aircraft fleet,” says Manuel Meier, Managing Director of Lufthansa Aviation Training Switzerland AG.

Financial Support for Student Pilots

Applicants should have completed at least three (03) years of basic vocational training or have examination-free access to university-level education. SWISS student pilots can also benefit from assistance in financing the training costs involved. Candidates can apply now and will find further information via www.swiss.com or via www.european-flight-academy.com.
