At European Cargo, we are not just offering a job; we are inviting you to join a close-knit group of aviation professionals who are redefining the cargo experience. If you are a UK CAA full ATPL holder or a (f)ATPL holder with 750+ hours on multi-pilot types (or approaching that mark with a frozen ATPL), we want to hear from you.

Competitive Rewards: We offer an attractive package, including a pension, loss of licence insurance, and medical insurance.
Career Progression: For those joining as a First Officer (i.e. without a full ATPL), you can expect to be promoted to Senior First Officer subject to satisfactory performance and upon gaining a full ATPL.
Your Role as Senior First Officer and First Officer:
Safety First: Uphold the highest safety standards in a novel environment.
