Budget airline Wizz Air has opened a new Pilot Academy. It is in Larnaca, Cyprus. This will help people become pilots. It is a clear way for them to train. The school will train new pilots from Cyprus. Pilot training will be easier and cheaper. This helps the airline find good pilots for its growing business.
The Wizz Air Pilot Academy has been running since 2017. Now it is coming to Cyprus. The airline thinks Cyprus has many motivated people. They want to work in aviation. The training program takes about two years. First, students train in Hungary. Then, they do more training at a Wizz Air base. This gives them real job experience. You must be 18 or older. You also need a high school diploma. Good English skills are necessary.
The school has a new way to pay for training. Pilot school costs a lot of money. Wizz Air helps with this. You pay a small amount at the start. The rest is paid later. If you get a job with Wizz Air, you pay back the money over five years. This is taken from your salary. This helps more people become pilots. Many people could not afford pilot training before.
Wizz Air is having an Open Day. It is on January 25, 2026. It will be at the Sunhall Hotel in Larnaca. You can meet Wizz Air people there. They will explain the training. You can also learn how to apply. Olivia Harangozo works for Wizz Air. She said Cyprus has ambitious people. The academy gives them a chance for an aviation career. This new school will make Cyprus an important place for pilot training.
