We now have exciting opportunities for existing A320 Rated Co-Pilots to join us on a permanent seasonal contract, in Faro.
Our permanent seasonal contracts mean that you are employed on a permanent basis, but only operate for 9 months each year, when the base is open. You will have 3 months off over the winter period.
If you’re as passionate about flying as we are and are looking to join an airline that can offer you fantastic development opportunities based on merit, not seniority - this is the role for you. No single day will ever be the same - each one filled with new challenges. The one thing that doesn’t change though are our people. They’re positive, inclusive, united by purpose, and they have your back. We call that our ‘Orange Spirit’, and you’ll get to share that too.
Apply now and embark on a journey filled with new challenges and opportunities.
(Please note: This application is for positions based in Faro ONLY. Please only apply if you are interested in being based in this location.)
