Are you an experienced DHC-6 Twin Otter pilot looking for your next career move? On behalf of Loganair, the UK’s largest regional airline, Nobox is now recruiting Direct Entry Captains for its Glasgow-based fleet. This is a rare chance to command one of aviation’s most versatile aircraft while enjoying a role that values both professionalism and work-life balance.
Why Choose Loganair?
Joining Loganair as a Captain means becoming part of a company renowned for its commitment to safety, operational excellence, and crew wellbeing. With a supportive environment and a transparent career progression pathway, you can focus on what matters most — leading safe, efficient, and enjoyable flights.
The Role
As a Direct Entry Captain on the DHC-6 Twin Otter, you’ll be responsible for the safe operation of the aircraft from pre-flight to shutdown. Your leadership will guide the crew, uphold safety culture, and ensure every flight meets the highest standards of professionalism.
Key Responsibilities:
Commanding all aspects of flight operations
Making sound, timely decisions in all conditions
Leading by example to maintain crew collaboration and safety focus
Ensuring compliance with regulatory and company procedures

Why This Role Stands Out
With its challenging operations, tight-knit crew culture, and strong work-life balance, this is a Captain role that combines the thrill of flying with the stability and support every pilot deserves. Whether you’re looking to settle into a base in Glasgow or seeking a role that values flexibility, this opportunity delivers.
