“To join a management company who knows how to take care of all employees is very appealing. Offering permanent full-time contact with full support from the first day of training in a professional network and with competitive terms. AAP Aviation is a well-organized employer that cares about people. They listen, always try to fulfill their requirements, and work hard to offer the best job conditions in the market.

The reason why others should apply is to join a well-known crew management company that offers competitive terms in the aviation industry and full support during your career. Once you join you will see the difference!”

“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.”
