Aviation Crew Contracting Case Study: Hi Fly

With increasing demand across its wet lease and ACMI operations, Hi Fly required expansion of its flight crew, engineering and ground personnel to support additional aircraft deployment. To meet this demand and maintain service continuity for its airline clients, Hi Fly partnered with AeroProfessional for specialised aviation recruitment and crew contracting services. In addition to sourcing qualified flight deck and cabin crew, AeroProfessional provided contracting solutions supported by its international payroll service, ensuring compliant employment structures for newly appointed pilots. AeroProfessional specialises in aviation recruitment and crew contracting for airlines operating across global markets. With an established network of experienced flight crew, engineers and aviation professionals, the consultancy supports airlines requiring scalable workforce solutions, contract crew supply and international payroll administration.

In addition to utilising its established aviation candidate network, AeroProfessional launched a Hi Fly branded recruitment campaign to attract additional flight deck crew, cabin crew, engineers and ground personnel. Tailored advertisements were published across targeted aviation platforms to engage relevant audiences within the global contract crew market. AeroProfessional managed the full search and selection process, reviewing qualifications, Type Ratings and operational experience to shortlist candidates aligned with Hi Fly's fleet and wet lease requirements. Following selection, AeroProfessional coordinated pilot and cabin crew assessments to ensure compliance with operational and regulatory standards. Interviews and technical discussions were arranged for engineering and ground personnel to confirm suitability for deployment. Successful candidates were formally engaged under AeroProfessional's crew contracting structure and sub-leased to Hi Fly. Contract crew benefited from dedicated contractor care and international payroll support, ensuring compliant employment and workforce continuity within Hi Fly's widebody wet lease operation.
