Cadetship Program

Jetstar and its industry partners offer you a unique opportunity to be trained to become a fully qualified Commercial Pilot whilst providing you with the experience and knowledge to further your career in the airline industry.

We invite you to discover the opportunities that the Jetstar Cadet Pilot Program can provide to you.

Your experiences as a Jetstar Cadet are the foundation of your aviation career. You will be provided with the best training, aircraft, and facilities available in Australia. Our approved Flight Training Organisations (FTO’s) have been assessed by Jetstar to ensure that they meet our specific training requirements and stringent safety standards. Supporting our training organisations is Swinburne University in Melbourne offering a unique University experience and providing excellent tuition in sound aviation principles that will equip you with the necessary theoretical knowledge to progress your aviation career.

Jetstar is committed to ensuring that the costs of flight training are not prohibitive to your pursuit of a career within the Aviation Industry. We have introduced, in conjunction with our University partner, a number of measures including FEE-HELP, to ensure that the Jetstar Cadet Pilot Program is one of the most cost effective ways to complete your flight training.

Future graduating Cadets can look forward to the potential of operating some of the most technologically advanced aircraft in the world including the Boeing 787 and A320/A321 NEO. In addition, the training you will receive throughout your Cadetship is amongst the best in the world.

We are looking for motivated people to join the Jetstar Cadet Pilot Program and we wish you all the best as you embark on the career of a lifetime.
