Flight Attendant – Charter Operations

A Different Kind of Flying Job

This isn’t your typical airline role—and that’s exactly the point.

At Freight Runners Express / Air Charter Express, our Flight Attendants are more than service providers. You’re the face of the operation, the calm in the unexpected, and the person passengers remember long after the flight ends.

Flying aboard our 30-passenger SAAB 2000, you’ll work in a fast-paced, ever-changing charter environment where no two days—or trips—look the same. One day might be a quick corporate hop, the next an all-day charter with multiple legs. If you thrive when plans shift and take pride in delivering both exceptional safety and genuine hospitality, you’ll fit right in.

This role blends safety professional, service expert, and operational support into one dynamic position:

You’ll lead all onboard safety responsibilities, from pre-flight checks to in-flight procedures. You’ll brief passengers, secure the cabin, and respond confidently in emergencies if they arise.

You’ll create a welcoming, professional environment—serving food and beverages, assisting with luggage, and ensuring passengers feel comfortable, even during delays or turbulence.

You’ll adapt to changing schedules, last‑minute assignments, and extended duty days (typically 4–14 hours). Overnights and multi‑day trips are a regular part of the role.

From stocking and organizing the aircraft to post‑flight cleanup and inventory, you’ll ensure the cabin is always ready for the next mission.

Some days you’ll collaborate closely with crew members; other times, you’ll be the sole cabin professional onboard—owning the experience from start to finish.
