Small Charter Operators

Post by Aviation 1 »

Looking for company names of charter operators from across Canada. Mostly float operators with 2 or 3 aircraft.

I assume you want this to help you find work. Go on the TC civil aircraft register and type in Cessna 180, 185, etc. Whatever you want to fly. Make a database. Then do some research on these companies and target the one's you want to work for.

Wings magazine used to publish something like this once a year but I'm not even sure if that magazine is still around.

Sorry not looking for a job.I know most of the operaters in Manitoba and NWO want to find as many small operators across Canada that operate 2 or 3 aircraft for charter only no schedule passenger service. Looking to see if there is any interest in a computer program for schedule and flight following. Something like Skyline has but more useful for the small operator and seasonal guys .

Bedes advice should still work for you. You could also try Pilot Career Centre search by aircraft type and region

I would think most operators already have put out fair amounts of money to invest in satellite tracking or similar flight following methods, so you would have to have a pretty good product in order to develop a market. You're a developer I take it?

I may be wrong, but I think the Wings listing is only for companies that pay for the listing. It would be missing quite a number of small operators who don't buy in.
