The A220 First Officer supports the Captain in operating National Jet Systems’ Airbus A220 aircraft safely and efficiently on scheduled domestic services. Candidates generally need an Australian commercial or airline transport pilot licence, the required instrument and multi-engine ratings, a current Class 1 aviation medical, and the right to work in Australia. Relevant multi-crew airline experience and A220 or similar jet experience are advantageous. The successful applicant is expected to demonstrate sound judgement, strong communication, disciplined checklist use, teamwork, and a professional approach to customer and operational responsibilities. Flexibility for rostered work, early starts, nights, weekends, public holidays, and relocation may be required.
National Jet Systems Pty Ltd is an Australian aviation company and part of the Qantas Group. It operates passenger and charter services for major airline partners, with a focus on safe, reliable regional and domestic flying. The company has operated aircraft including the Airbus A220 and other narrow-body and regional types, depending on its contract and fleet requirements. National Jet Systems employs pilots, cabin crew, engineers, dispatchers, and corporate and operational specialists across Australia. Its workforce operates within Qantas Group safety, training, compliance, and service standards. The business offers airline professionals the opportunity to work in a structured commercial environment while supporting important connections between Australian cities and regional communities. Exact bases, fleet assignments, remuneration, and employment conditions depend on the relevant vacancy and enterprise agreement.
Australia offers aviation opportunities with major airlines, regional carriers, charter operators, airports, maintenance companies, and flight-training organisations. The culture is generally informal, multicultural, and strongly focused on safety, fairness, and work-life balance. Lifestyle varies widely: capital cities provide diverse dining, transport, and entertainment, while regional areas offer outdoor activities, beaches, lower living costs, and quieter communities. Housing can be expensive in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, so researching the specific base is important. Foreign applicants normally need an appropriate work visa, and pilots may also need Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority licence validation or conversion, an Australian medical, and airline-specific checks. Employer sponsorship is possible for some skilled roles but is not guaranteed. New arrivals should budget for rent, transport, health insurance where required, and relocation costs, and confirm roster patterns and base requirements before moving.
