Corporate Pilot Jobs

A corporate pilot flies for a company flight department or a business jet operator, carrying executives, owners and charter clients on their own schedule rather than a fixed airline timetable. The flying is on demand, often into smaller airports, and covers turboprops through to large cabin jets.

Most roles need a commercial licence with an instrument rating, and a captain seat usually wants turbine time and often a type rating, with an ATPL for larger jets. Some operators hire low time pilots as first officers. Requirements vary a lot by aircraft and operator.

Pay ranges widely by aircraft and operator, from around the fifties of thousands a year for an entry level turboprop seat to well into six figures for a senior captain on a large cabin jet, often with strong benefits and more days off than an airline.

It depends on the aircraft. Larger jets need a type rating, and many operators will pay for it as part of hiring. Smaller turboprops such as the King Air 90 and the PC-12 usually need only a sign off rather than a full type rating.

It is different. Corporate flying often means a more predictable schedule, more days off and smaller airports, though some roles are on call. It is also a strong way to build turbine and command time, and many pilots move between corporate and the airlines during a career.
