AAP Aviation

Pilot Opportunities

AAP Aviation has challenged the status quo in many aspects, but especially when it comes to the pilot employment model. Traditionally, changing your employer has meant "starting from scratch" in terms of seniority. We want to challenge that model!

Our goal is for our pilots to have the flexibility you need to adapt to life's changing circumstances - While being recognized for the valuable experience you have already gained.

“I have always found kindness, availability, and flexibility from AAP Aviation. Today I finally have job stability. It’s a great opportunity to work in a relaxed and professional environment with high standards and performance.”

“AAP Aviation has only gone above and beyond what was offered. With this being my first contract flying experience, I have a favorable outlook on the setup. AAP is an employer that values its people. From day one of communicating with AAP, my perception is a genuine desire to make me feel welcome. Being one of the first American pilots to join Norwegian through AAP, I would like to invite my American colleagues to check it out. Norwegian provides a good product, is well-liked and I am proud to work with them.”
