Aspiring airline pilots, career changers and aviation enthusiasts will have the opportunity to explore the many pathways into professional flying when Pilot Careers Live Ireland 2026 arrives at The Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) on Saturday, 17th October 2026. The event will run from 10:00am to 4:00pm and is expected to bring together airlines, flight training organisations, aviation universities and industry experts under one roof.
Organised by Pilot Career News, Pilot Careers Live has become one of Europe’s leading independent pilot career events. Visitors can speak directly with flight schools, training organisations and airline representatives, while also attending a programme of seminars designed to answer some of the most common questions about becoming a professional pilot. Topics typically include training pathways, costs, financing options, aptitude testing, medical requirements, airline recruitment and long-term career prospects.
For anyone considering a career in aviation, the event offers a rare opportunity to compare training providers, gain first-hand advice from industry professionals and build a clearer understanding of the journey from student pilot to airline flight deck. Organisers describe the show as a chance to meet leading training organisations and recruiters face-to-face while attending talks and networking sessions focused on the realities of professional pilot training and airline employment.
FlyingInIreland.com is once again supporting the Dublin event and encourages readers with an interest in aviation careers to attend. Whether you’re a secondary school student exploring future options, a university graduate considering a career change, or already involved in recreational flying and looking to take the next step, Pilot Careers Live provides valuable information and industry contacts in one location.
Visitors attending the event can also call to the Pilot.ie stand, where the team will be available throughout the day to discuss the equipment and resources new pilots need as they begin their flying journey.
From headsets and flight bags to navigation tools, charts, kneeboards and training essentials, Pilot.ie will be on hand to help prospective pilots understand what equipment is worth investing in during the early stages of training. The stand will also provide an opportunity to ask practical questions about student pilot life and the day-to-day realities of flight training.
