Job description
We are seeking DHC-6 Twin Otter Captain positions.
This opportunity is aimed at experienced multi-crew airline pilots with prior turboprop or regional airline experience, including those currently flying Airbus or Boeing aircraft who have operated earlier in their careers in turboprop or short-haul regional roles.
Previous Twin Otter experience – whether current or at an earlier time in your career – would be advantageous.
We are particularly interested in candidates with previous or current experience across light multi-engine utility aircraft such as King Air, Shorts, BN-2 Islander; turboprop operations in regional airline aircraft such as Saab 340, EMB-120, ATR, or Dash 8; and/or previous Twin Otter or comparable STOL operations experience.
As a Twin Otter Captain in a dynamic and operationally diverse environment, the role will appeal to pilots who are looking for:
- Command responsibility in a specialist aircraft.
- UK and Guernsey based operations.
- A return to hands-on flying within a structured airline environment.
- A rewarding contribution to communities across the British Isles carrying scheduled passengers, freight & mail and undertaking medevac missions.
- No time zone changes or deep night flying – our operating window is typically 07:00 to 20:00 at most.
We are inviting informal expressions of interest initially to allow for suitability screening prior to formal application.
Applicants must hold a UK CAA licence and the right to work in the UK.
Please note: All prospective candidates must complete an application form as part of the recruitment process.
Benefits:
- Company pension
- Cycle to work scheme
- Discounted or free food
- Free flu jabs
