Company Description
Apollo Air Services is an executive helicopter charter operator providing door to door travel for corporate and private clients. We operate a fleet of AW109SP helicopters based across the UK and Ireland, flying everything from business trips and airport transfers to major events such as horse racing, motorsport and golf.
Our pilots fly day and night in a wide range of weather conditions, and we were the first UK AW109 operator approved for two pilot multi crew operations. We also hold an exemption allowing two CPL pilots to fly together as a multi crew and log multi pilot hours towards an ATPL. Alongside charter, we help clients with helicopter acquisition and ongoing management.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
