People & Transformation, Head of Talent Acquisition
"We sincerely appreciate the collaboration with AeroProfessional for their impeccable professionalism and reliability. It was a great and fruitful experience that we're extremely satisfied with. Building a team can be a challenge, and Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine made it even more so. We transformed our activities, obtained a European operator's certificate, and scaled our operations globally. Thus, we've demonstrated through actions that we can be trusted, while AeroProfessional helped us pick the right people. It was our first experience of its kind, and, in our belief, it was a perfect match, with every effort worth pursuing."

SkyUp Airlines, a fast-growing Ukrainian airline, were seeking to hire a seasoned Chief Operations Officer (COO) for their new ACMI base in Malta. To support them during this strategic shift, the airline utilised AeroProfessional's search and selection service for hiring a COO with expertise in ACMI operations in Europe and the Middle East.
Founded in 2016, Electra Airways is a European ACMI and charter operator with its headquarters in Sofia, Bulgaria. Since 2022 the airline has become a crucial part of the newly formed Vector Group.
