Air France has opened 2026 applications for its Cadet Program, a fully funded pilot training route that feeds directly into the airline and Transavia. The intake runs from 15 June to 31 July and targets candidates ready for a 24-month programme at partner flight schools.
Successful cadets will qualify as First Officers on Air France’s Airbus A220 or A320 fleet, or on Transavia’s Boeing 737 and A320neo aircraft. Air France will also host a webinar on 23 June at 18:00 to outline selection and training. The carrier is using the scheme to widen access to cockpit careers and sustain its pilot pipeline as demand for training capacity stays tight.
