FPU estimates that approx. 1,000 pilots have lost their jobs. We expect that there will be enough funds for applicants who live up to the requirements to apply this year, regardless of when their certificate expires.
You can apply for a grant from the fund at the earliest 3 months before the expiry of the certificate, medical and language proficiency check. If, contrary to expectations, there should be a lack of funds at the end of the year, FPU will contact the Ministry of Employment and the parties behind the agreement with a request to expand the fund.
