Inside NFTE: Expanding Allied Flight Training Across Europe and Beyond

In 2020, 10 NATO allies (Belgium, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Spain and Türkiye) agreed to expand flight training capabilities across the alliance through the creation of the NATO Flight Training Europe (NFTE) High Visibility Project.

By March 2024, NFTE had placed ~50 student pilots at four locations, added nine new training campuses, and established an industry advisory body.

Now leaders such as Jas Hawker, Principal Officer for NFTE, is working to raise awareness among NATO nations and expand the network further. This October, Jas will join the Military Flight Training Summit in San Antonio, Texas, to spotlight NFTE’s role in connecting industry with NATO alliance Air Forces.

Ahead of the conference, Jas sat down with IDGA to discuss how NFTE is working with the U.S. Air Force, objectives for 2025, and what the future of military flight training holds.
