At a Glance...
When Aurigny faced challenges recruiting ATR72-600 Captains, it partnered exclusively with AeroProfessional to promote a new 14/14 UK based commuting roster. This collaboration enabled AeroProfessional to engage qualified UK-based ATR Captains through its established pilot network, positioning Aurigny’s revised roster as a competitive flight deck opportunity. The result was the placement of four required Captains within two months, demonstrating targeted aviation recruitment expertise and strong market responsiveness.
The Situation...
Aurigny Air Services, the flag carrier airline of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, faced a critical challenge in recruiting ATR72-600 Captains due to the difficulty of attracting UK-licensed pilots to relocate to their Guernsey base. To address this, Aurigny’s Chief Operations Officer introduced a strategic 14 days on, 14 days off UK based commuting roster designed to expand the available pilot pool.
Recognising that the revised roster required targeted flight deck recruitment expertise, and building on a successful prior collaboration, Aurigny’s COO exclusively partnered with AeroProfessional to deliver this ATR72-600 Captain hiring campaign.
The Solution...
AeroProfessional deployed a targeted flight deck recruitment campaign, leveraging its established pilot network to engage UK-based ATR72-600 Captains aligned with Aurigny’s operational requirements. The strategy focused on promoting the new 14 days on, 14 days off UK based commuting roster, directly addressing the relocation barrier and expanding the accessible pilot pool.
By positioning the revised roster structure clearly within the UK flight deck market, AeroProfessional generated strong engagement from qualified ATR Captains and accelerated the hiring process for this regional airline mandate.
The Results...
This focused flight deck recruitment campaign delivered rapid results. AeroProfessional secured four ATR72-600 Captains within two months, enabling Aurigny to stabilise its regional operations under the new 14 days on, 14 days off UK based commuting roster.
The accelerated hiring timeline demonstrated targeted aviation recruitment expertise within the UK pilot market and reinforced the effectiveness of the revised roster strategy in attracting qualified ATR Captains.
