Why us?

At Platoon Aviation, we don't just operate jets - we shape the future of European Business Aviation. With 11 aircraft today and plans to grow, we are scaling fast and every pilot you bring on board shapes our operations, culture, and future. You will work closely with Flight Operations and HR, participating in interviews and helping make hiring decisions, giving you a direct impact on the growth and performance of our cockpit teams. We move fast, take ownership, and reward results - there is no bureaucracy, just the opportunity to influence real growth and see immediate effect of your work.

At Platoon Aviation, this is where aviation careers take flight, and where your expertise as a pilot recruiter will make a tangible difference in shaping our fleet and the skies we fly.

Founded in 2021, Platoon Aviation’s vision is to become the market's leading charter operator, achieved by leveraging advanced technology, state‑of‑the‑art aircraft, and our team's unparalleled expertise.

In 2025 Platoon is operating 11 identical PC-24, which operate on a floating fleet model across Europe (i.e. the aircraft have no fixed home base). The PC-24 offers an unparalleled level of comfort for our passengers, coupled with exceptional performance capabilities and better luggage capacity.

Operating on an ad hoc basis, Platoon does not offer a scheduled service but according to market trends and individual demand from clients. Platoon operates in a B2B style model, which means we work principally with brokers across the world, and this has enabled us to already become a recognized brand and airline on the market due to the higher volume of flights we are able to operate.

Platoon is determined to set the new benchmark in private charter when it comes to service and experience, and truly make our guests feel at home in the sky when they fly Platoon.
