Reliable, highly qualified staffing with a zero-obligation contract
Aircare Crews provides premier staffing services in the business aviation industry. Our offerings can be tailored to your flight department’s individual needs, providing quality service from highly-trained cabin staff without the administrative workload. We offer zero obligation contracts, so you can sign up with us and only pay when you need staffing services.
Aircare has a unique advantage in our talent acquisition and recruiting because of our Aircare FACTS Training program. Through FACTS, we see contract pilots and flight attendants in action while they are going through cabin safety training, so we have a pipeline to the most qualified and well-trained crews for staffing flight departments.
Testimonial
FACTS training and AirCare Crews is fantastic. I have been so fortunate to have been going to FACTS year after year, and to have worked for AirCare Crews for the last couple of years.
Since 2004, Aircare Crews Staffing has provided professional, flexible, tailored business aviation staffing services to meet the needs of the modern flight department. We work with single-plane operations up to the largest Fortune 500 flight departments. Our history of nearly twenty years in business aviation crew staffing gives us the longevity and experience that sets us apart. This longevity provides us with the most in-depth knowledge of industry standards to benefit your flight department. The Aircare Crews 24/7 dispatch team promptly handles and coordinates availability, scheduling, and dispatch of pilots, flight attendants and mechanics. The team manages logistical issues like crew replacements, travel arrangements to/from assigned locations, as well as confirming proper certification for a seamless crew staffing experience.
Our approach is uniquely tailored to match each client to optimize flight department SOP’s, safety culture and service experience. The team is able to assist new clients with best practices shared by other regional and national flight departments with information on competitive daily rates, crew travel, safety tips, expense reporting and health and wellness testing to help flight departments manage their personnel and remain competitive and cohesive.
