About the Jet2 Second Officer Programme:

This structured pathway prepares new pilots to integrate into the airline’s operational environment. Candidates will undergo a comprehensive 20-week induction programme based at Jet2’s commercial and operational headquarters in Leeds and one of its UK bases. The training includes immersion into customer-facing roles, team operations, and Cabin Crew experience, preparing candidates for airline life before commencing a fully bonded type rating.

About the Jet2FlightPath Sponsorship Scheme:

Jet2FlightPath is a fully funded pilot training scheme for aspiring pilots, covering the full cost of flight training from zero experience to Second Officer. The scheme is designed to improve access to the profession and is ideal for those from non-traditional or financially constrained backgrounds. Our guide includes a summary of the application journey, assessment structure, training phases, and advice for standing out in a competitive selection process.

Who This Guide Is For:

• Commercial pilots applying for Jet2’s Second Officer programme (type-rated or non-rated)
• Type rated and non type rated pilots (captains and first officers moving airlines)
• Flight school graduates preparing for a simulator assessment
• Applicants to Jet2FlightPath seeking insight into the process and expectations

Preparation is focused on understanding assessment standards and demonstrating competency, not memorising scripted answers.
