Where to obtain ferry work for airliners

[oicur12.again]

hey all,

I am trying to get involved in ferry work for airline aircraft such as 737/A320/A330.

I have contacted PARC but I get the feeling its not a big part of their business.

Can anybody point me in the direction of a company that is involved in utilizing part time crew for ferry flights?

I'm no expert but do most airlines not do it themselves? The ones i know do. Repos apart obviously.

Google it!

Collecting new aircraft from the factory is usually a 'perk'of the training department, from my experience, as they also do an acceptance air test and they like to have an experienced FO with them or another training captain.

Reposessions etc. often carried out by still current crew from the failed company, who are engaged on a job by job basis, by the administrators.

The only ferry work I have seen up for grabs is single engine across the Atlantic or Pacific, not what you are looking for!

In FR it is usually two skippers who go to Seattle to collect new aircraft.

thanks all for the help.

flightpath obn, yep, tried google and found several companies that SAY they ferry aircraft but dont really and several that dont respond to emails. I thought maybe some folk here on pprune would have a better understanding of the market than me.

It's usually done by the airline themselves or the manufacturer.

understood, was just givin you a time....I see that Boeing does quite a bit of ferry work, at least between Everett and the paint shop, but to other locations as well.

This is an interesting blog..
