Difficulty applying for FlyDubai's Ab Initio Cadet Program

Hello everyone, I've been researching my options for a cadet pilot program, currently, my options are either Air Arabia or FlyDubai (if there are any other cadet programs other than SIA and Scoot that are enrolling international students. pls do let this boy know).

Anyways, on their website (FlyDubai), they do have the page for international students to apply for their cadet program ( https://careers.flydubai.com/pilots/ab-initio-pilot ). However, once u click apply, the only options that shows up is their National-only version of the cadet program.

Are they currently not accepting international students? Or am I messing up somewhere? Pls help, any help or insight would be super appreciated!

The Cadet course is for Nationals of the UAE. If you are looking at the Second Officer programme you should contact:

• Nigina Surkova ([email protected])
• Deborah Madushika Walter Alberetulage ([email protected])

They're not taking at the moment for their ab-initio program. They will probably accept non-UAE nationals later this year as they mentioned on the website.
Just keep on checking

You should contact the ATO ([email protected]) to get the right info, you should also follow them on instagram last year they advertised the program on their page.
And monitor the website
