Job description

We are seeking expressions of interest for a Twin Otter Commander positions.

This opportunity is aimed at experienced multi-crew airline pilots with prior turboprop or regional airline experience, including those currently flying Airbus or Boeing aircraft who have operated earlier in their careers in turboprop or short-haul regional roles.

Previous Twin Otter experience – whether current or at an earlier time in your career – would be advantageous.

We are particularly interested in candidates with previous or current experience across light multi-engine utility aircraft such as King Air, Shorts, BN-2 Islander; turboprop operations in regional airline aircraft such as Saab 340, EMB-120, ATR, or Dash 8; and/or previous Twin Otter or comparable STOL operations experience.

As a Twin Otter Captain in a dynamic and operationally diverse environment, the role will appeal to pilots who are looking for:

  • Command responsibility in a specialist aircraft.
  • UK and Guernsey based operations.
  • A return to hands-on flying within a structured airline environment.
  • A rewarding contribution to communities across the British Isles carrying scheduled passengers, freight & mail and undertaking medevac missions.
  • No time zone changes or deep night flying – our operating window is typically 07:00 to 20:00 at most.

We are inviting informal expressions of interest initially to allow for suitability screening prior to formal application.

Applicants must hold a UK CAA licence and the right to work in the UK.

Apply Please note: All prospective candidates must complete an application form as part of the recruitment process.
