Both programmes operate from L3Harris’ facilities in the UK and US, including its London Training Centre, UK centre of flight excellence at Cranfield University and the Orlando, Florida flight academy.

The new ATPL and Flying Start ATPL courses will be offered to all new trainees applying from Monday 7th November 2022.
 
“In response to cost of living increases across the globe we have launched two ATPL programmes at price points we believe reflect the value of our training proposition,” said David Coward, Vice President and General Manager, L3Harris Airline Academy. “Our prices now include accommodation throughout the US-based flight training phase, training assurance, providing peace of mind should the trainees need additional training and access to our world-renowned Graduate Placement Pool, providing graduates career services and support as they look to start their airline career. This makes our pricing clear and transparent.”
