✈️ Foreign Pilot Recruitment for Air Japan – Delivered by CREW ✈️

CREW Resources Worldwide is proud to be the number one supplier of pilots to Air Japan, supporting one of Japan’s most demanding and respected flight operations.

What truly differentiates CREW is this: we are pilots recruiting pilots.

CREW management consists entirely of JCAB-qualified pilots who have all flown the line in Japan. We don’t speculate about what your journey will look like—we know it, because we have lived and breathed it ourselves. From regulatory expectations to daily operational realities, our guidance is grounded in real experience, not theory.

CREW is part owned by ANA Holdings, the parent company of Air Japan, and Sojitz Corporation, one of Japan’s leading global enterprises.
Sojitz operates across multiple strategic industries, including:

  • Aerospace and aircraft leasing

  • Aviation and transportation

  • Energy and metals

  • Infrastructure and urban development

  • Industrial and consumer services

This ownership structure provides CREW with deep integration into Japanese aviation and long-term alignment with airline partners.

CREW also maintains an exclusive agreement with NexGen, a world-class simulator training provider.

  • NexGen has prepared pilots for the Air Japan simulator evaluation since 2010

  • The Air Japan simulator is widely regarded as one of the toughest in the world

  • NexGen instructors are JCAB-qualified pilots, offering unmatched insight into Japanese assessment standards

In addition, NexGen has trained pilots for Qantas Group airlines, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, among many other global carriers.

CREW works closely with Longreach Aviation, a highly respected recruitment agency that has supported CREW’s Asia-Pacific recruitment operations for many years. This partnership has been particularly focused on Australian, New Zealand, and South African pilots, ensuring strong regional expertise and candidate support. CREW also maintains a relationship with Par Avion, based in Australia, further strengthening its regional recruitment capability.

At CREW Resources Worldwide, everything we do is about pilots—for pilots.
We are managed by pilots, not administrators, and that perspective shapes every stage of the recruitment and training process.
