Completion of ATPL training that started in the LH group

Background

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the LH Group announced in September 2020 that training operations in the Group’s own flight school would be discontinued. A termination agreement is to be offered to the students. If the termination agreement is accepted by the student, the student will receive a confirmation of the training already completed, which can be presented to an external training organization. A possible repayment obligation to LH does not apply.

Options

If the training is close to being completed, it makes sense from our point of view to accept the termination agreement. The training can be completed at an external flight school, for example at FCH Flight Training in Hanover (EDDV), at a low cost, taking into account the training that has already been carried out.

If the training is not at an advanced stage, it may be advisable to insist on fulfilling the contract. LH then places the student with an external ATO, which completes the training on behalf of LH. However, after 5 years, , the student receives an invoice for the agreed upon self funded contribution, which can sometimes amount to 80,000 euros.

The next step

Since demand is high and spaces are limited, we ask you to contact us by email. Please inform us in as much detail as possible about the current level of training and the training periods to be taken into account.
