IndiGo Cadet Training Program

 

 

Dear Applicant

 

Welcome to the Flight Training Adelaide (FTA) lndiGo Cadet Program. FTA has been delivering airline training programs to the world’s leading airlines since its inception in 1982. FTA became an lndiGo approved provider in 2017, and nothing gives us more pride than seeing our graduates transitioning into the IndiGo’s A320 fleet.

 

FTA prides itself on being an open and transparent Training Provider. Please look at FTA’s pricing information on our website, which clearly details everything that is included in our price.

 

You are encouraged to do a price comparison against other providers, taking into account all costs that are associated with the training program. The pricing information sheet will help you undertake the price comparison exercise.

 

FTA operates two campuses. One is located in Adelaide, South Australia and the other in Toowoomba, Queensland. If you are successful in attaining a course position, you will be advised at which of the two campuses your training will be conducted. The training price is the same irrespective of campus location. It is worth mentioning FTA has conducted training for IndiGo Cadets at both sites in the past.

 

FTA trusts that the information provided is useful and should you have any further queries, please contact the FTA marketing team on indigo@flyfta.com

 

In the meantime, you are invited to apply for the lndiGo Cadet Program via FTA’s website.
