About Us Crew Leasing
Contractair focuses on the supply of flight deck, cabin crew and training staff to supplement an airline’s own operations department. Most operators accept that finding an established crew-leasing partner is the key to ensuring smooth continued operations during:
  • Fleet expansion & replacement
  • Conversion training
  • Seasonal operations
  • Periods of market change where extra flexibility is required

Interim Supply
As part of being a global supplier of flight crew, Contractair specialises in the supply of ‘interim’ flight crew to certain European countries that require special arrangements or licenses to supply personnel. In particular Contractair is one of the few companies to hold a government-approved licence to provide crews in Belgium. An interim licence allows Contractair as a UK based company to operate within the legal framework of another European country whilst at all times adhering to EU legislation. In addition to Belgium Contractair can supply crew to Germany and Switzerland, countries that also require special arrangements.
