Company Description
Apollo Air Services is an executive helicopter charter operator providing door to door travel for corporate and private clients. We operate a fleet of AW109SP helicopters based across the UK and Ireland, flying everything from business trips and airport transfers to major events such as horse racing, motorsport and golf.
Our pilots fly day and night in a wide range of weather conditions, and we were the first UK AW109 operator approved for two pilot multi crew operations. We also hold an exemption allowing two CPL pilots to fly together as a multi crew and log multi pilot hours towards an ATPL. Alongside charter, we help clients with helicopter acquisition and ongoing management.

You will be responsible for the safe and efficient operation of flights for our clients, including flight planning, weather and route assessment, fuel and performance planning, and working closely with our operations team to keep everything running smoothly. You will also look after our passengers, take part in recurrent training, contribute to the safety management system and support our aircraft management work.
