Jet Aviation Staffing (JAS) has launched a new global training programme for pilots in partnership with FlightSafety International. Offered exclusively through the Hullo Aircrew platform, the programme was created in support of the freelance workforce and allows pilots to complete recurrent training. Jet Aviation Staffing will ensure payment of the upfront costs for eligible pilots and offer a flexible re-payment plan.

Hullo Aircrew provides a platform to connect freelance and contract aircrew members with operators. In partnership with Jet Aviation, it is developing its technology to become a single source for freelancers to access the best trips, receive payment quickly and access a variety of training programmes.

JAS senior director Elaine Lapotosky says: “We recognise the financial commitment freelance pilots must make to maintain a type rating and are here to support them. By assuming upfront financial responsibility for the training, pilots have the ability to focus on their career without financial burden. FlightSafety is known for offering state-of-the-art training, and by utilising the technology of Hullo Aircrew, we can easily connect pilots to FlightSafety, keeping them flying.

"FlightSafety International's instructors will provide a variety of courses designed to provide pilots with the knowledge and skills required to ensure the safety of their passengers, other crew members and the aircraft.”
