Aurigny has partnered with Norse Atlantic UK to bolster the two airlines' pilot numbers.
Aurigny is developing a pilot career pathway for its First Officers with help from Norse Atlantic UK.
First Officers will go from operating the Guernsey-based airline's ATR72-600 turboprops to destinations across Europe and the UK, before moving on to Boeing 787 Dreamliners with Norse Atlantic, which is based at London Gatwick, connecting Europe with North America, South Africa and Thailand.
The two airlines are attempting to strengthen the future pipeline of talent for both companies.
Philip Smallwood, Chief Operating Officer at Aurigny, says he is thrilled to be part of developing this exciting career pathway for Aurigny First Officers as well as future cadet entry pilots who are initially joining Aurigny.
"As they continue to build their flying skills and gain the necessary experience, they will have the opportunity to progress to flying one of the world’s newest and most iconic jet aircraft.
"Ultimately, this makes Aurigny a more appealing long-term career choice for aspiring aviators."
David Thomas, SVP Operations and Accountable Manager at Norse Atlantic UK, says the airline is delighted to collaborate with Aurigny to offer aspiring pilots an exciting pathway.
"At Norse Atlantic, we are excited about creating real opportunities for talent to further develop aviation and our company.
"Aurigny is the perfect partner given its high standards of training and experience of short-haul operations, along with its frequent services to our base at London Gatwick."
