What do you have your hours on to be considered for the First Officer position? It asks for 500 on 10 tonnes or 19 seats, etc.

Air Atlanta Icelandic is an EASA carrier, flying both passenger and cargo B747-400’s Worldwide.
They also operate the A340-300 For Air Madagascar.

As a flightcrew member for AAI, you will be required to operate Worldwide, including being based for longer periods in the EU. Jeddah is not their only base, and half of the fleet is based in Western Europe.
You also need an EASA license.

The Cruise Relief pilot/ Second Officer programme is a fantastic opportunity for cadets, with possibilities to grow fairly quickly within an established company that is making profits, is medium sized and offers some of the best training and flying experience in the World.






Yes yes you're all right. They are based there but the position of Cruise Relief Pilot is based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I don't know much about terminology but I do know that a base is where you work and return to and also where your contract will be.

In addition to the above they've bumped up the requirements up to 300/400 actual flight hours which is out of the range of anyone out of flight school, unless you were really bad and had to do it twice!

EDIT: Also, Iceland isn't even in the EU!
