Cadet Pilot Program Preparation — IndiGo, Air India & Akasa

Airborne Aviation Academy prepares aspiring pilots for the cadet pilot programs of India's leading airlines — IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa Air. Our cadet preparation covers aptitude testing, psychometric evaluation, GD/PI, and the complete selection pathway from application to type rating.

What Is a Cadet Pilot Program?

A cadet pilot program is an airline-sponsored pathway where the airline selects fresh CPL holders, funds or co-funds their A320/B737 type rating, and fast-tracks them to a First Officer seat. In India, IndiGo's JFO Program, Air India's iFLY/Cadet Scheme, and Akasa Air's cadet pathway are the most sought-after airline-entry routes.
