Prepare for Global Jet’s pilot interview

How to read this guide

Free to read · What is Global Jet's own information, what is EASA's rule text, what is Galley's preparation, and what Galley doesn't know.

This guide has two kinds of content, always labelled. Global Jet facts come from Global Jet's own website, press releases and pilot job ads, the safety auditor WYVERN's press release, or EASA's rule text, each with a source tag such as [S1] and the date it was read. Galley preparation is Galley's own advice and practice material for business jet pilots, captains and first officers.

Galley doesn't know Global Jet's interview questions, technical tests, simulator assessment or selection steps, and doesn't guess them. None of this guide comes from Global Jet's interviews.

The EASA facts come from EASA's Easy Access Rules as published in March and October 2026. Rules change: your licence, your operator's manual and your authority are what count.

Crew Interview Insights: none yet. When pilots who interviewed at Global Jet share their experience and Galley accepts it, it's added here at no cost, labelled "Self-reported" or "Attendance supported by evidence". Galley can't promise when.

Who Global Jet is

Free to read · The company, its managed fleet and pilots, how it says it trains, its aircraft range, approvals and safety audits.

• Global Jet says it has worked in luxury private aviation since 2000, is privately owned and led by its founders, and has more than 600 experts in 10 offices; the office list on its home page includes Geneva, Luxembourg, Monaco, Paris, Madrid, Vienna, Dubai and the Isle of Man. [S1]
• Five activities: private jet charter, brokerage, aircraft sales and acquisitions, aircraft management, and design and completion management. On aircraft management, the home page says Global Jet operates more than 35 aircraft types. [S1]
• In July 2026 Global Jet said it manages more than 75 aircraft across 35 types, with a Bombardier Global 8000 and a Dassault Falcon 6X as its latest additions. [S2]
• The same release says more than 600 pilots fly for Global Jet across those 35 types, that it runs recurrent training with training organisations including CAE, and that it trains human factors as well as technical skill: CRM, decision-making under pressure, situational awareness, communication and leadership. [S2]
• The range is wide: Global Jet's captain careers page shows the logos of Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Beechcraft and Cessna, and WYVERN describes the Luxembourg company's fleet as running from light jets to VIP-configured ultra-long-range aircraft. [S4] [S9]
• Two December 2025 releases put a new Bombardier Global 7500 and an Airbus ACJ319neo into the charter fleet, both based in Dubai, where Global Jet says it has a charter operations office. The ACJ's specification lists a crew of two pilots, an engineer and two flight attendants. [S7] [S8]
• In July 2020 Global Jet listed commercial (AOC) and non-commercial (NCC) approvals for "both GJA and GJL", ETOPS approval up to 180 minutes, CAT II and CAT IIIb ILS approaches, and enhanced vision system (EVS II) operations. [S6]
• In January 2026 WYVERN announced that Global Jet Luxembourg had renewed its Wingman certification after an audit in November 2025; Global Jet's safety manager described the result as Level 4 SMS certification. [S9]

Galley's reading: GJA and GJL are Global Jet Austria and Global Jet Luxembourg, both on its office list, and the 2020 approvals are the latest list Galley found, so ask what applies today. The figures differ by page: more than 600 experts (home page), more than 600 pilots (July 2026 release), about 600 professionals (WYVERN); the home page says 10 offices and lists 11. On a managed fleet you fly an owner's aircraft, for the owner and, when it is chartered, for charter clients. Owner flights are often non-commercial and charter flights commercial air transport, but which applies depends on the contract and the operator: ask. The rules for the two differ, and the sections below show where.

The role and what Global Jet asks for

Free to read · The eight open pilot ads, with every requirement side by side: licence, hours, type, base, roster, language and the application form.

Global Jet Luxembourg had eight pilot ads open on its recruiting site on 10 November 2026: captain and first officer on the G7500, captain and first officer on the G650, captain and first officer on the BD700 (open base), a first officer on the BD700 based in Madrid, and a first officer on the Falcon 900 EASy based in Paris. Seven were published in September or October 2026; the captain G7500 ad was last published on 25 June 2026 (the recruiting site's data shows it was created in September 2025). All are full-time and permanent. [S3]

• Every ad asks for a valid EASA licence, no history of accidents or incidents, and no criminal record or security restrictions. [S3]
• Captains, G650 and BD700: at least 3,000 hours total excluding FSTD time, and at least 1,500 hours multi-crew on jets. The captain G7500 ad asks for experience on the type and states no hours. [S3]
• First officers: G650, at least 500 hours multi-crew on jets and 1,500 hours total excluding FSTD time (its application form asks about 1,000); BD700 open base, 500 hours multi-crew on jets and 1,000 total; G7500, 1,000 total including 500 on jets; BD700 Madrid, 500 hours multi-crew, and jet time is mandatory; Falcon 900 Paris, 500 hours multi-crew, jet experience preferred. [S3]
• Type: the BD700 open-base first officer ad makes the BD700 type rating mandatory (it also lists a type-qualified pilot as preferred, so the ad contradicts itself); both G7500 ads ask for experience on the type; the G650 ads and the captain BD700 ad prefer a pilot already qualified on the type; the Madrid and Paris ads prefer experience on the type. Seven application forms ask whether you are rated or qualified on the type; the captain G7500 form asks whether you have experience on it. [S3]
• Base: six ads say open base. The two BD700 open-base ads prefer Nice, and their forms ask whether you would live close to Nice; the captain G7500 form asks whether you live close to Geneva. The Madrid and Paris ads make that base mandatory. [S3]
• Roster: seven ads state a 15/15 roster (the captain G7500 ad calls it balanced); the Madrid ad states none. [S3]
• Language: the Falcon 900 Paris ad makes French mandatory. [S3]
• Every application form asks for a photo, a CV and a phone number, and about your licence and the type. Six ask about your hours, six about your notice period and four about the base (Nice twice, Madrid, Geneva); the Paris form asks whether you speak French fluently. The two G650 forms ask whether you could start the operator conversion within a month. [S3]
• Two undated careers pages on globaljet.aero (they mention more than 700 specialists, where the home page now says more than 600) set other minimums: captains, 3,500 flight hours; first officers, 750 hours on type. Both ask for previous corporate aviation experience and fluent English, with the same three conditions as the ads. [S4] [S5]

The ads count hours differently: total with or without FSTD time, multi-crew, on jets, on type. Count your logbook their way before you apply, and check your CV against the ad you apply for. Not stated in the ads: pay, how positioning works on an open base, who funds a type rating, the selection steps, any simulator assessment, or the start date. Ask about these at interview.
