Pilot recruitment at Luxaviation
The group holds around fifteen AOCs in several countries: each entity (Luxaviation UK, Belgium, France, Germany...) recruits for its own aircraft, often on a specific owner aircraft type. Vacancies are published on the careers page of the group website. Luxaviation states that it never offers jobs by email and only recruits after face-to-face interviews, so be wary of any unsolicited offer asking for money. Check the licence required (EASA or British), type rating and experience on each listing on the Luxaviation careers page.
Recruitment information is given as a guide only (public sources, subject to change over time): always check the current conditions on the airline's careers site.
History of Luxaviation
Luxaviation was founded in Luxembourg in 2008 and received its first AOC in 2009. It grew through acquisitions: German operator Fairjets (2011), Belgium's Abelag (2013) and then ExecuJet in 2015. In 2016 its subsidiaries were brought together under the Luxaviation brand (Luxaviation Belgium, France, Portugal...). The group later bought Speedstar (2017) and Paragon Aviation Group (2024).

Preparing for psychometric tests before a selection
Some pilot selections include psychometric tests. ForAllPilots does not say whether Luxaviation uses them, or which ones: none of the series below is presented as Luxaviation's.
To practise anyway, the site offers several series of exercises, included with the ATPL subscription. They are practice exercises, not official tests: ForAllPilots is not affiliated with any airline or any test publisher, and the exact rules or scoring may differ.
- BQ psychometric tests: cubes, matrices and word problems
- CUT E / AON psychometric tests: deductive reasoning, landing and tunnel
- COMPASS psychometric tests: flying a flight display and orientation
- DLR psychometric tests: spatial orientation, vigilance and perception
