Skybound was established to remove the financial barrier between capable aspiring pilots and professional flight training.

In partnership with StepEx (FCA-regulated), we provide fully funded Zero-to-ATPL training — covering all stages from first flight through to airline readiness.

Our funding is delivered through a Future Earnings Agreement (FEA) — a fair and flexible alternative to traditional loans. You pay nothing upfront, and repayments only begin once you are employed as a First Officer and earning above £30,000.

 

Key Details

​

• Zero upfront training costs

• Repay 15% of income above £30,000

• Capped at £150,000 or 10 years (whichever comes first)

• If you earn less than £30,000 → you repay nothing
