Opportunities across the whole aviation sector
Astonfly graduates now work in more than 50 airlines and across different segments of air transport.
Commercial aviation
Fly aircraft carrying passengers on scheduled routes, within national or international airlines. You can work on short-, medium- or long-haul networks and connect cities around the world every day.
Business aviation
Operate private or professional flights tailored to each passenger’s needs, to a wide variety of destinations and airports. Business aviation offers diverse missions, aboard jets operated by specialised companies and operators.
Cargo aviation
Carry goods, urgent freight or essential products across national and international networks. Cargo aviation plays a central role in global logistics and lets you take part directly in trade between countries.
Instruction
Pass it on in turn, at a flight school, guiding future pilots on the ground and in the air. Instructing lets you consolidate your own skills while building aviation experience.
