Jet Aviation Staffing (Booth N4635) and FlightSafety International (Booth C10625) are teaming up on a new global training program for freelance pilots, the companies announced this week at NBAA-BACE 2019. Offered exclusively on the hullo Aircrew platform expected to launch in the U.S. in 2020, the new program will allow pilots to complete recurrent training at FlightSafety under a flexible repayment plan offered by Jet Aviation Staffing.

“Jet Aviation Staffing is thrilled to support ongoing training and professional growth for pilots,” said Elaine Lapotosky, senior director at Jet Aviation Staffing. “We recognize the financial commitment freelance pilots must make to maintain a type rating and are here to support them.”

Being demonstrated at Jet Aviation Staffing's NBAA-BACE booth, the hullo Aircrew platform connects freelance and contract aircrew members with operators. Jet Aviation and hullo Aircraft announced their partnership in April to develop the technology and expand the platform to the U.S. market. 

“At hullo Aircrew, we are committed to enhancing our technology platform to provide the most value for freelance aircrew,” said Steve Payne, hullo Aircrew’s chief operations officer. “Partnering with Jet Aviation to offer training to pilots is a natural evolution of our platform, and we are proud to be part of this new service provided by Jet Aviation Staffing and FlightSafety International."
