AIS Flight Academy, based at Lelystad Airport in the Netherlands, offers an integrated Airline Pilot Program designed to train aspiring commercial pilots. The 24-month program combines theoretical studies—covering aviation law, meteorology, navigation, and flight planning—with hands-on flight training, culminating in a Frozen ATPL.

A key advantage is the academy’s close ties with AIS Airlines, allowing many graduates to transition directly into first officer roles through the cadet program. Tuition for the full program is around €120,000, covering both theory and practical flight training.

Located at a less congested regional airport, the academy provides a focused environment for learning. Prospective students should consider costs of living and potential weather-related training delays.
