New Posting - Montair

We are currently looking to hire a Manager of Flight Operations for our new sub-base in Red Deer, Alberta - set to open May 2016.

Company History
Montair has been training pilots in BC since 1995.
Due to strong demand for skilled airline pilots from China’s rapidly growing aviation industry, the company
expanded in 2005. Montair was one of the first schools in the world to receive approval from the Civil
Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to train airline students. The company was able to use the
experience gained from running a commercial operation and apply it to building an advanced airline
training program, designed to deliver the most professional, highly skilled pilots to the airlines. To date,
Montair has trained and graduated hundreds of airline pilots, a number that continues to grow.
In 2014 Montair was acquired by a foreign investment firm. The new ownership has brought a lot of
excitement into the company as they continue to expand operations both in terms of fleet and student
numbers.
