Flying in Europe

European flight operations run under EASA rules across the EU and EEA, while the United Kingdom has operated its own UK CAA framework since leaving EASA. The region covers scheduled network carriers, low-cost operators, regional and ACMI/wet-lease companies, cargo airlines and business aviation, with the largest crew bases spread across the UK, Ireland, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and the Nordics.

Which pilot licence do employers in Europe require?

Operators based in the EU or EEA generally require an EASA ATPL(A) or CPL(A) issued by an EASA member state, and UK-based operators require a UK CAA licence. Third-country licence holders normally complete a conversion before line flying — the licence conversion guide covers the ICAO to EASA and EASA to UK CAA routes. Read the licence conversion guide →

Do I need a type rating to fly in Europe?

It depends on the operator. Some Europe vacancies require a current type rating on the aircraft, while others accept non type-rated applicants and provide or bond the type rating as part of the package. Every listing states which applies, and the jobs page can be filtered by Type-Rated or Non Type-Rated. Type rating guides →
