Did you know that ExpressJet Airlines offers internships for students interested in a career in flight operations? An internship at ExpressJet provides you with the opportunity to gain an inside look at the aviation industry from a regional airline’s perspective.
Interns are able to see the daily functions and career possibilities in aviation, and work in the fast-paced environment managing one of the best and biggest regional airlines in the country. You’ll gain valuable professional experience that you will be able to apply to various aspects of your potential career.
Program Overview
This is an opportunity to learn from our engaged pilot recruiting team members, make valuable and lasting contributions to ExpressJet, and gain a network of mentors who are invested in helping you develop both personally and professionally.
Compensation
This is a competitive, paid internship opportunity. Interns will earn $9.25/hour for 28/hours per week, and will also receive personal flight privileges (free and reduced fare travel) for the duration of the internship. The curriculum of our internship program allows for it to be counted toward college credit at many colleges and universities across the county.
