Assessment: Austrian Airlines Beginner+ Program

The Austrian Airlines Beginner+ program is one of three options to get started as a pilot at Austrian Airlines – and with highly attractive conditions, as you can see at austrianpilot.at. With the Beginner+ Program you will be trained in Austria – in cooperation with the renowned Austrian Aviation Academy (AAA) – and are guaranteed to take your place in the cockpit of Austrian Airlines later on (otherwise Austrian Airlines will waive the training costs). In addition to the Lufthansa Group’s ab-initio training at the European Flight Academy (EFA), the Beginner+ program is thus a second gateway to the Lufthansa Group with unique selling points.

The selection process takes place at DLR (Certificate Cockpit, psychological assessment) and at Austrian Airlines (PIT).

Prospects at Austrian Airlines

Austrian Airlines offers prospective pilots excellent prospects on modern aircraft types such as the Airbus A320 family and the Boeing 777. Training and subsequent assignments take place mainly at the home base in Vienna, an important hub in Europe. The connection to the Lufthansa Group opens up additional career paths within the entire Group, for example on long-haul routes or in management positions. Austrian Airlines continuously invests in fleet renewal and sustainability, which creates secure jobs and exciting prospects for the future. The opportunities to later be deployed on long-haul flights to North America or Asia are also particularly attractive. All in all, prospective pilots can expect a stable, international career in a dynamic environment.
