A skilled and pleasant team, a development-minded atmosphere, and a shift-swap option that helps with managing life around shift work. Additional Information What does continuous recruitment mean and when does it close? Continuous recruitment is open until further notice with no closing date. It can, however, close quickly according to the company's needs, so submit your application in good time. Timetable. Test rounds are arranged according to the company's needs. The first test round will be held in January 2027, and applications submitted by Sunday 16 November 2026 will be considered for it. Applicants invited to the first test round will be contacted by email during November and December. Selection process. The airline pilot recruitment process has three stages, all of which must be passed to join the hiring pool: initial screening on the basis of CV and application; an aptitude assessment, carried out by our partner Selex Oy; and a psychologist's interview plus an individual interview. Interviews are held face to face near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport and, as a rule, cannot be attended remotely. Selection decisions are communicated by email and are based on the combined result of all parts, although a single part may also be decisive. Personal feedback on the decision cannot be given. Costs. Applicants who pass the aptitude assessment (stage 2) are charged 150 euros in administrative costs. Norra covers the other costs of the selection process. After selection. Pilots selected through continuous recruitment are placed in the hiring pool, from which they are called to upcoming company courses as the company needs them. Further training consists of the company course and the type rating course; both are free of charge and unpaid. The employment relationship begins after the type rating course has been passed (from the skill test), and a three (3) year training commitment is made with the employee. Collective agreement. We currently apply the collective agreement for Nordic Regional Airlines Oy airline pilots concluded between Norra, the Service Sector Employers PALTA ry, FAPA ry and ASIA ry. Security clearance. In a basic-level security clearance, the Finnish Security and Intelligence Service (SUPO) checks a person's background using the information sources defined in law and careful overall consideration. Findings can lead to a course place being cancelled or an employment relationship being terminated; as well as serious offences under investigation or convicted, they can include, for example, repeated payment defaults or driving under the influence. The basic security clearance is carried out for course participants before the company course begins. Applicants still in flight training. You may apply if you are in the final stage of your studies and have passed the ATPL theory examinations; it is an advantage if you have already completed flight school and can supply the required certificates at application stage. A copy of a valid CPL(A) licence must be provided to the company before the company course begins. Re-applying. We apply a 12-month waiting period, so you may apply again once at least 12 months have passed since a previous negative recruitment decision. If you were not invited to the first test round, you may still be included in a later one; test places are limited. Questions about the process or criteria can be sent to our recruitment team at rekry@flynorra.com. For data security reasons we cannot process applications sent by email.
