After the skills test come the oral interview and the medical examinations. A scholarship interview differs from an ordinary airline interview in one important way: Aegean is not selling you training — it is investing in you, fully funded, on behalf of Aegean and Olympic Air. The panel's core question is whether that investment is safe.
What to have ready
Motivation that survives probing: why a pilot career, why Aegean specifically, and why you are ready for 18 to 20 months of demanding integrated training at Egnatia Aviation or Global Aviation.
Eligibility and paperwork in order: Greek or Cypriot nationality, date of birth after 1 January 1997, and every document the announcement asks for — administrative errors are the cheapest way to lose a funded place.
The medical, de-risked early: training requires an EASA Class 1 certificate, so if you wear glasses or have any medical doubt, arrange an early Class 1 examination before investing months in preparation.
Self-knowledge: honest, concrete examples of teamwork, setbacks and responsibility from your own life.
How to prepare
Rehearse your answers aloud until they are compact and true, and prepare for the interview to be held partly in English — airline training and operations run in it. The Big Five personality test on this platform helps you understand your own profile before a panel forms theirs; present the same person the questionnaires and the skills test already showed, because consistency is what a committee investing forty funded places per year is really checking. If the current window has closed, use the year well: a candidate who spent it training COMPASS formats and flying trend lines upward walks into the next cycle with an advantage most applicants skip.
