AirTanker Services is a UK company dedicated exclusively to providing the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) to the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD).

Under the world’s largest Defence Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract, AirTanker Services will deliver a service that provides comprehensive air-to-air refuelling and air transport capabilities to the Royal Air Force (RAF), using new, multi role tanker transport aircraft derived from Airbus A330-200 commercial airliners.

AirTanker has recently signed a £13bn, 27 year PFI contract with the UK Ministry of Defence for the provision of a full Air-to-Air Refuelling and Air Transport service for the Royal Air Force. A fleet of 14 new tanker aircraft based on the Airbus A330-200 will come into service from 2011.

AirTanker is currently in the exciting start up phase of this programme and need to appoint a Head of Flight Operations to develop the operational solution, in particular to secure the necessary civil licensing approvals, through introduction into service and beyond.

Working in Partnership
Matchtech's ongoing relationship with AirTanker has prompted the request to cover a national advertisement campaign for this exciting phase in their development.
