Polish flight centre to train future Ryanair pilots

Ryanair Holdings Plc's shares have plunged as higher costs, stiffer competition and slower growth in demand cut into profit. The airline, which reports earnings tomorrow, may emerge victorious from the turbulence. A capacity glut is making it harder for Ryanair and rivals including EasyJet Plc to fill seats. That prompted the carriers to start a price war last month aimed at luring travelers. While lower ticket prices may drive down revenue, it's also offering an opportunity for Ryanair, Europe's biggest discount carrier, to squeeze out smaller competitors that can't afford to cut fares.

Pilots of Ryanair will be trained at the Bartolini Air flight training centre near Łódź  in central Poland.

The centre near Łódź will train 320 Ryanair pilots, in cooperation with the Łódź and Olsztyn airports.

The training would be conducted within the framework of the Ryanair Mentored Pilots programme, Ryanair’s Operations Development General Manager said at a press conference in Łódz.

Candidates from the whole of Europe can participate in the programme. Each of them will have the chance to join Ryanair. The intensive pilot training will last eighteen months, after which candidates will be ready to join training for Ryanair’s Boeing 737 aircraft.

Bartolini Air in Łódź is one of the biggest pilot training centres certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in Central Europe.
