The cooperation negotiations in the Patria’s Pilot Training Oy unit have ended. The negotiations concerned the entire personnel of the unit in Pirkkala, Helsinki and Córdoba locations. Negotiations were started due to productional and financial reasons as the training programmes of many large customers have been delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The negotiations resulted in the unit laying off 22 flight instructors and employees on a temporary basis during 2021. Layoffs are full-time or part-time and last maximum 90 days.

Patria’s Pilot Training is the only EASA approved flight training institution offering MPL (Multi.Crew License) training and integrated ATP(A) Airline Transport Pilot training to both individual students and airlines as ab initio programs.
