New career opportunities for pilots at Airmedic
Jazz Aviation, a subsidiary of Chorus Aviation, now includes Airmedic in its Jazz Aviation Pathways program. This program offers new development prospects for Airmedic pilots. It enables Airmedic to develop and guide pilots towards commercial transport at the right time in their careers.
Through this agreement, Airmedic identifies pilots with the potential, people skills and know-how to become commercial pilots with Jazz. The company accompanies them on their journey and facilitates their access to an interview with Jazz.
Developing your flying career
As a Quebec-based air medical transport company, Airmedic trains pilots to work in difficult weather conditions and emergency situations. Since 2012, more than 9,000 missions have resulted from its operations, and just as many lives saved.
From Chisasibi to Blanc-Sablon, pilots develop valuable expertise on the Pilatus PC-12. As a result, this experience gives them a solid base from which to progress to larger aircraft and commercial transport. It is exactly the kind of foundation the Jazz Aviation Pathways program looks for when preparing pilots to transition to commercial airlines.
Jazz Aviation, operator for Air Canada Express, serves Canada and the United States. With over 79 destinations, 4,500 employees and 460 daily flights, Jazz is a major opportunity for pilots looking to boost their careers. The company offers a stimulating professional environment and concrete opportunities for advancement in the airline industry.
A unique program in Quebec dedicated to Airmedic pilots 
Airmedic remains the only private airline to have such an agreement with Jazz. Interested pilots participate in the program on a voluntary basis. Together, Airmedic and Jazz define a development profile, allowing direct access to an interview with the Jazz team.
The aim is to support pilots’ professional development, but also to propel them towards new challenges when the time comes.
“We are delighted to be working with Jazz Aviation to develop the next generation of pilots. This collaboration demonstrates our shared commitment to enabling our staff to develop their careers over the long term, while facilitating their integration and transition into the commercial transport sector. Airmedic is the first French-speaking Quebec carrier to develop such a partnership with Jazz Aviation. Our safety record, the reality of our operations and the caliber of our training are recognized and set standards that adequately prepare tomorrow’s French-speaking workforce,” says Nicolas Charette, Airmedic’s Director of Aircraft Operations.
The road to becoming an airline pilot can be an arduous one. However, this program supports those who want to stand out and grow in their profession. So when the time comes for them to take off as airline pilots, Airmedic and Jazz will be at their side to propel them to the next level.
