"As a pilot you cannot buy experience, but as a passenger you can" - David Voy, Chairman
 

Starspeed Pilots

All Starspeed pilots have many years’ professional flying experience. All hold the highest grade of professional licence, the Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) with Instrument Rating. Many also hold instructor and examiner ratings. Nearly all Starspeed pilots have had the benefit of the extensive and exacting UK military training system, and all bring a wealth of tacit knowledge and experience from a variety of operations around the world. But experience and qualifications are not all that define a Starspeed pilot. Starspeed management makes a point of only recruiting pilots who can reflect the best qualities of the company’s hard earned reputation for service and individual attention, both in and around their primary flying duties.
