I reached out to AeroProfessional after a year of being grounded by Covid. 2 month later I am back in the skies. They are putting in some work to get You a job, and not just being a "pool boy". Thumbs up from my side!

Mike and the whole team at AP have been great. The whole recruitment process was very fast - I went from job advert to first flight in well under 2 months. Everybody seems very friendly and helpful and queries are answered quickly. The main thing though: I've been paid as promised and on time.

Mike Lucas from Aeroprofessional needed a PIC at very short notice and contacted me immediately. Right from the start Mike was a pleasure to deal with, very professional and very easy to communicate with. Throughout the short contract Mike was constantly checking up on my well-being together with providing support as necessary.
Having worked with agencies in the past, I feel that Aeroprofessional stand out as one of the best. It was a pleasure to work with Mike - look forward to the next time.
