Safety, Crew Training & Quality Control

At LEA, we understand that earning your trust demands absolute professionalism in how we run our operations.

Safety

Safety comes first.  Our award-winning service is based on the highest standards in crew selection, training and the aircraft we fly. With expert staff dedicated to these areas, and operating under the strictest regulation overseen by the Civil Aviation Authority and the European Aviation Safety Agency, we ensure that adherence, standardisation, and performance are rigorously maintained.

Crew

When we recruit, we pick from the best flying talent available.  All of LEA’s pilots are full time employees and holders of Commercial and Airline Pilot licences.  All are trained to Command Standard, effectively meaning that our aircraft are flown by two captains. Whatever arises, our flight crews have the skills and experience to respond quickly, confidently and safely.

Training

As we operate some of the most advanced jet aircraft in the world, our training demands are exacting.  That’s why all our training is done by Flight Safety International, the world renowned provider, using full motion flight simulators.  Together, Flight Safety and our own crew induction programme guarantee crew standards meet world class standards. Our pilots are assigned to fly only one aircraft type, and with the benefit of six-monthly recurrent checks, they are equipped with the highest level of skills and knowledge about their aircraft and its systems.

Quality

We strive for quality in everything we do.  We operate an internal quality control system led by a dedicated Quality Manager. His role is to scrutinise all areas of ground and flying operations, maintenance and client service. Through this continual appraisal, procedures and functions are monitored and continuously improved. As a further check, this system is tested annually by external auditors who give an independent assessment of our operations.
