Work conditions

AHK Features

Reliable roster offering a great work/personal life balance.

People-oriented culture where pilots are highly respected and their contributions are valued.

Opportunity to maintain flying skills and continue a flying career with a successful airline.

Career Progression

First Officer 1: One year under probation.

First Officer 2: Promotion after a total of two years of service.

Senior First Officer: Promotion usually after a total of three years of service.

Command: Selection driven by operational requirements and assessed individual suitability, in seniority order subject to fleet manning needs.

Flying Operations

Normal operations support the DHL Express network, with most flights departing the Hong Kong hub at 0300-0500 local time and arriving at outports 2-4 hours later.

Aircraft remain at outports during the day, then fly back to Hong Kong late evening.

Cargo is predominantly DHL Express freight; AHK is highly focused on achieving on-time performance.

AHK also operates a small number of dedicated charter flights on behalf of Cathay Cargo.

Roster

Steady blocks of days on/days off cycles.

Each work cycle consists of one to three sectors each night, reserve duties, and recurrent simulator/ground training when due.

Target monthly flying rate is 55 hours.

Crew Rest

To support fatigue mitigation, AHK provides quality airport-convenient hotel accommodation from 11 hours prior to the commencement of the first duty event during each work pattern.

Pilot Basing and Domicile

All AHK pilot positions offered are HK based. Pilots are required to pay HK tax and are responsible for paying any other taxes that may be required due to their own circumstances.

AHK Culture

AHK’s competitive advantage is a highly engaged team culture, especially amongst our pilot community. AHK seeks pilots who have a can-do attitude, a positive outlook, and who will be a good fit with our current agile, flexible, and proactive pilot workforce. AHK is proud of maintaining a diverse workplace.

Safety

AHK maintains a high standard of flight operational safety. AHK expects our pilots to maintain a high standard of professional knowledge, prepare thoroughly for each flight, function effectively in a diverse team, operate according to our published procedures, and honestly report all hazards and incidents. AHK supports a non-punitive safety culture and seeks to learn from all incidents.
