If you are thinking about starting your pilot training, one of the most important factors influencing your decision is the cost of a pilot licence. So, how much does it cost to learn to fly and train as an airline pilot? Depending on the programme, your pilot course fees can vary. The cost of flight school, for those wishing to obtain an Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL), is £94,960.
Obtaining your pilot licence is a considerable financial commitment. That being said, our pilot course fees are a reflection of the quality training and cutting-edge facilities at British Aero Academy.
Cadets can expect to receive unparalleled training from industry-renowned Instructors.
Not forgetting the incredible benefits and the future that lies ahead of you as a pilot, from an attractive salary and having an office above the clouds, to making life-long friendships around the globe.
The largest cost a cadet will incur is the cost of pilot training itself which will vary depending on the course. Additional costs such as living costs and insurances could also apply. Full details can be found on the individual programme pages here.
Our Integrated ATPL course takes cadets from little to no flying experience to a fully qualified pilot in 70 weeks. Cadets can train for their UKCAA ATPL, EASA ATPL or dual licence. The UKCAA ATPL enables you to be pilot for airlines registered in the UK. The EASA ATPL enables you to be a PIC for airlines registered in Europe.

For many aspiring commercial airline pilots, the greatest barrier to becoming a pilot is securing the funding for pilot training. We are committed to ever-widening access to pilot training for those who demonstrate the talent, passion and motivation to become a pilot.
We are unable to offer airline pilot funding advice; the majority of our pilot training courses are self-funded. Here are a few of the ways that you could fund your course, from securing loans for pilot training to receiving financial support from your family.
One way to secure airline pilot training funding is via a secured loan from a UK bank, typically against a property.
Loans for pilot training are appropriate if individuals who are responsible for providing the funding have a property which is valued at £150,000 or more. In most instances, banks will only lend up to approximately 60% of the property’s value.
