Lufthansa Selected for German Air Force Pilot Training Program
Lufthansa Aviation Training will commence Initial Flight Training for 50 German Air Force pilots starting February 2027. This program aims to establish foundational flying skills and theoretical knowledge necessary for advanced military training.

Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) is set to provide Initial Flight Training for approximately 50 German Air Force pilots annually, starting in February 2027 at Rostock-Laage Airport. The training will include both classroom instruction and practical flight experience using Diamond DA40 NG aircraft, focusing on visual flight procedures and upset prevention.
This contract expands the longstanding collaboration between LAT and the Bundeswehr, which spans over 60 years. The training center’s proximity to Tactical Air Force Wing 73 Steinhoff enhances cooperation with advanced military training programs. The initiative addresses an essential phase in the pilot development pipeline, crucial for the operational readiness of the Bundeswehr amidst current geopolitical tensions.
