Ireland’s aviation policy is assessing the possibility of utilising underutilised provincial airports for pilot training in Waterford, Sligo, and Derry.
This initiative aims to maximise the potential of these airports, leveraging their challenging weather conditions for effective pilot training.
Waterford Airport is already home to existing pilot training academies, indicating a foundation for the proposed initiative.
The programme is expected to create jobs while simultaneously addressing the need for enhanced training facilities for commercial pilots.
By exploring these airports, the aviation policy seeks to contribute to the broader development of Ireland’s aviation sector
