CAE, which has been providing easyJet pilot training for nearly three decades, has announced that it is extending the Generation easyJet Multi‑Crew Pilot Licence (MPL) programme by five years, underscoring the strength of CAE’s proven MPL training model and its role as a long‑term, trusted partner.
CAE is easyJet’s exclusive MPL partner and continues to support the carrier’s pilot training requirements through a structured, competency‑based training pathway aligned with easyJet’s operational standards.
CAE says it has trained and delivered more than 1,500 pilots to the airline through MPL, Integrated Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL), and type‑rating programmes.
“The extension of the Generation easyJet MPL programme reflects the strength and longevity of our partnership with easyJet, as well as the continued confidence in CAE’s MPL training model,” said James Cahill, Vice President, Commercial Aviation – EMEA, CAE.
“Structured cadet programmes like this one play a critical role in developing the next generation of pilots while maintaining the highest training and safety standards.”
Daniele Grassini, Director of Training and Standards for easyJet, said: “We are delighted to be reopening applications for this year’s Generation easyJet Pilot Training Programme as part of our drive to recruit hundreds of new pilots over the coming years.
“We want even more people to consider joining a profession truly unlike any other where no two days are the same and, at a growing, leading European airline, offering fantastic opportunities for progression. We look forward to seeing many more new pilots joining easyJet in this rewarding career in the months and years to come.”
CAE predicts that Europe will require approximately 57,000 new commercial pilots by 2034 and highlights the scale of long‑term workforce demand across the region.
