About European Flight Academy

At the predecessor flight schools of the European Flight Academy, Lufthansa and SWISS have been training airline transport pilots at the highest standard since the 1960s. These many years of experience and EFA’s tight integration with the Lufthansa Group’s aviation operations make optimized training with practical relevance possible. On this basis we continuously develop our training and the flight academy concept in order to be ideally prepared for the challenges of the future. The European Flight Academy has been the Lufthansa Group's flight school since 2017. Today, it trains the next generation of pilots for airlines within Lufthansa Group and outside of it. For this purpose, it maintains a fleet of modern training devices and training aircraft at the Bremen, Rostock, Zurich, Grenchen, and Goodyear locations.
