The Airline Academy was founded in 1994 to meet the hiring needs of the airline industry. Competition for airline positions is extremely fierce. Only 5% of airline applications are granted interviews. Approximately 30% of those whoenter an airlines’ in-house training with no prior experience will be released. Airline Academy graduates have a 99% in-house training success rate.  Airline recruiters are eager to hire our graduates and have been doing so since 1995.
