CONGRATULATIONS to equestrian commentator Killian Thornton, who has passed his Ryanair assessment and has been offered a place on a Type Rating course.

“After all the studying, hard work and perseverance, I’m thrilled to see that effort pay off and to have achieved a goal I have worked towards for so long. A huge thank you to my friends and family for their support.

“Thanks to the team at AFA - Airline Flight Academy - for the exceptional instruction during my APS MCC. Their training has prepared me brilliantly for this next stage and given me a strong foundation for the Type Rating. I’m incredibly excited to begin this next chapter and join Ryanair.”
