Need Help figuring this out !
Hi everyone. I’m looking to start my pilot training with the goal of eventually working back in Dubai or in the UAE. Looking at the job requirements for the various middle eastern airlines almost all of them are asking for an ICAO ATPL. Originally, I planned to study in the USA as flight schools there are almost half the cost of Europe/UK however I am unsure as to whether this USA pilot schools lead to an ICAO ATPL.
I see all UK/Europe schools include ATPL theory so are only these schools considered ICAO ATPL?
Essentially, I’m looking for advice on whether to study in the US or Europe if the end goal is to work in the middle east. I would have to travel to both places as I currently live in Dubai, but I do hold a British passport and Peruvian passport. Thanks.
