The Modular Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) route is where you complete your training in stages. Training costs can vary, but are usually between £40,000-£70,000. Additionally, when you have completed training, depending on the airline you may have to pay up to £35,000 for a type rating. Type rating is specific training so you can fly a certain type of aircraft.
