Job description

Southern Airways is growing and we'd love to have you as part of our team! From Nantucket in the east to Honolulu in the west, Southern Airways, and its Hawaiian Brand Mokulele Airlines, comprise one of the largest commuter airlines in America. Based in Palm Beach, Florida, we serve nearly 40 American cities across five U.S. time zones.

Southern Airways Corporation has been conducting charter operations under Part 135 since 2012 and added Essential Air Service operations in 2016. In 2019 we added Mokulele Airlines to the company, flying intra-island in Hawai‘i. We operate under Southern Airways Express, Mokulele Airlines, and Southern Private Jets. Southern operates a fleet of over thirty aircraft, including the Cessna Caravan/Grand Caravan, the King Air Super 200, the PC-12, and the Citation Bravo.

Southern has seen tremendous growth thanks to our commitment to the individual passenger, which is recognized in our company mantra, “Every Passenger, Every Day, Every Flight.” This mantra has encapsulated our thinking and our core values since Day One. Despite being the fastest growing airline in America, the Southern staff remains ever-mindful of those first days of the airline— we know we must take care of Every Passenger, Every Day, on Every Flight. Won't you join us as we connect DuBois to the rest of the world? Oh - flight benefits are one of the perks!
