European Flight Academy, Lufthansa Group’s flight school, is accepting applications for future pilot-training courses. Its current schedule lists Bremen in February 2027 and Zurich in March 2027, while the January Bremen course is already fully booked. EFA recommends allowing at least six months to complete the selection process.

The published cost of the German ATPL programme is €130,000, paid across six instalments. This includes training, examinations, learning materials, the Phoenix flying phase with accommodation, travel and transfers to the United States, language testing and a uniform. Accommodation during the German theory and practical phases, the DLR certificate, medical, visa and required iPad are separate.

EFA’s income-related financing option requires €10,000 of personal funding, with the remaining €120,000 potentially financed through Brain Capital. Payments begin only after annual gross income exceeds €30,000. Under the maximum-financing example, repayments are 12% of gross income for up to 11 years, although applicants must examine the final contractual terms carefully.

The Take-off Promise is also conditional. Eligible graduates who actively apply for every suitable Lufthansa Group cockpit vacancy should receive a binding offer within 24 months or qualify for a refund of 50% of their training costs. Aviation Insider can help aspiring pilots understand the training route, prepare academically and approach airline selection with realistic expectations.

ATPL subjects cover a huge amount of technical and operational knowledge, from General Navigation and Meteorology to Flight Planning, Performance and Aircraft Systems. Studying becomes more manageable when each subject is divided into clear, connected topics.

Aviation Insider’s revision guides help pilots revisit difficult principles, organise their study time and understand the reasoning behind examination questions. Our wider study support includes structured courses, question practice, flashcards and resources designed to reveal weak areas before exam day.

Resources and personal support are available through Aviation Insider in Crawley and Burgess Hill. We also provide technical and training support for the A320, Boeing 737, Airbus A330 and other aircraft types as pilots progress from ATPL study into type-rating and airline training.

Andrewsfield Aviation faced the realistic prospect of closure as its longstanding owners prepared to retire from the day-to-day operation. The Essex airfield and flying school has served its aviation community for more than 30 years, providing flight training, aircraft hire and specialist courses.

Newly qualified pilot Jamie Oliver worked behind the scenes to help explore a solution and facilitate new ownership arrangements. Despite some headlines suggesting otherwise, Oliver is not taking over the daily management of the flying school and will instead remain involved as a supporter.

Marc Naylor will become the major shareholder and take responsibility for running Andrewsfield Aviation. Naylor previously spent ten years flying air-ambulance operations in Devon before returning to Andrewsfield to complete his Flight Instructor Rating. Carol Cooper will remain Head of Training, bringing more than 27,000 flying hours to the school.

This is more than a celebrity aviation story. It is the preservation of an airfield, training organisation, skilled team and community that might otherwise have disappeared. For anyone beginning or progressing through flight training, Aviation Insider provides study resources, licensing guidance and career support throughout the journey.

DELTA POSTS RECORD REVENUE DESPITE SURGING FUEL COSTS

Delta Air Lines reported record September-quarter adjusted revenue of $17.6 billion, up 16% from the previous year despite operating broadly flat capacity. GAAP operating revenue reached $20.2 billion.

The airline generated adjusted pre-tax profit of $1.5 billion and adjusted earnings of $1.72 per share. GAAP pre-tax profit was $1.1 billion, although Delta absorbed more than $500 million in additional fuel costs compared with its July guidance.

Premium revenue increased 18%, cargo revenue grew 29% and maintenance revenue rose 28%. Loyalty revenue was also up 18%, while remuneration from Delta’s American Express partnership is expected to exceed $9 billion for the full year.

Delta expects December-quarter revenue to grow by approximately 20%, with full-year earnings of between $5.10 and $5.60 per share. The airline is forecasting approximately $2.5 billion in free cash flow and plans to repay more than $2 billion of debt during 2026.

Operationally, Delta says it led its major US competitors in on-time arrivals and departures during the quarter. It also accepted 13 new aircraft, including Airbus A350-900s, A321neos and A220-300s, while announcing additional international services for 2027.

08/10/2026

An ICAO-issued Airbus A330 qualification represents valuable widebody experience, but moving between licensing systems requires more than presenting your existing licence. The destination authority may require verification, examinations, training, medical evidence or a new skill test.

Aviation Insider can examine your hours on type, operational recency, rating validity, medical and intended authority before mapping the available pathway.

We can coordinate training, simulator access, examiner arrangements and supporting paperwork. Where required, the check can assess technical knowledge, normal operations, instrument procedures, automation, manual handling, engine failures, abnormal and emergency scenarios, approaches, landings and CRM.

Consultations are available in Crawley and Burgess Hill. Alongside the A330, we support A320, Boeing 737 and other multi-pilot aircraft pathways, subject to regulatory and training availability. Contact us for an individual assessment before committing to a programme.
