Now Boarding: Dash 8-400 Type Rated and Non-Type Rated Captains Who Live for the Sky and the Mediterranean! Fixed 5 days on 3 days off roster based in Malta.

We’re on the hunt for excellent, exceptional and safety minded Airline Captains to join our world-class crew. If your heart still races at the sound of take-off power and you can smell an unstable approach from a mile away, then buckle up, this one’s for you.

As Captain, you won’t just fly the aircraft, you’ll own the flight. From wheels up to wheels down, you’ll lead with confidence, calm, and just the right amount of swagger. Safety, precision, and smooth landings are your trademarks, but so is knowing when to throw in a well-timed "I have control”.

This isn’t just a job, it’s a calling for aviators who thrive on excellence, leadership, and a good cup of strong coffee at FL250.
