Gryphon Airlines

[Guru8904]

There is a charter operator by this name based in Kuwait. I have heard they are opening a hub in RAK soon. Any info about this airline would be appreciated like T&Cs, rosters, how is it to work for? how do they treat their crews?

Thanks

Anybody? Any info?

Well, nothing on their website at all - and given the type of work that they're into, I wouldn't think it likely that RAK would be a good fit for them. Not that I'm an authority, however.

Currently they are looking for crew, min reqs for Capt, 3000 PIC with 300 on MD80 series. For F/O, 1500 Total with 300 on MD80 series. Unfortunately you need South African validation as the aircraft operate on SACAA AOC and are SACAA registered. Salary is good considering company pays a basic, s&t, sector pay, accommodation, transport, life insurance, medical insurance as well as for all training. W.r.t. roster, you'll fly 3 sectors 3-4 times a week. Hpoe this helps.

They now have an application link on their website for crew. Check Careers (http://www.flygryphon.com/Home/Careers/tabid/76/Default.aspx) or Gryphon Airlines (Kuwait) - PILOT CAREER CENTRE (http://www.pilotcareercentre.com/Air-Carrier-PCC-Profile/2254/Gryphon+Airlines+(Kuwait))

Swiftair from spain are doing an AMCI for them until they receive their own a/c. They are also have a dry lease with a SA company for MD80's. That's one of the reason for the SACAA validation.

The company is us owned but based out of Vienna, Virginia, however for now they operate on a South African AOC.

As it stands now, the company have two bases, one in Kuwait and one in Dubai. They were in RAK for less than a month due to logistic reasons in Dubai.
