About Us

Since June 2008, Waltzing Matilda Aviation has provided private jet charter and aircraft management from our home at Laurence G. Hanscom Field in Bedford, Massachusetts. Our reputation comes from one simple commitment: every guest arrives safely, comfortably, and ready for whatever brought them aboard.

We're expanding our fleet and operations to include the CRJ200 aircraft, and we're looking for exceptional flight crew to help in this launch.

Our CRJ200 is appointed for comfort and operated at a high luxurious standard unique to this fleet type. Every detail of the trip matters, and the folks on the flight deck set that tone.

At Waltzing Matilda, we believe luxury and safety are not competing goals. Every flight begins with disciplined planning and ends with a guest who wants to fly with us again. We're looking for Flight Attendants who hold themselves to that standard in the cabin and provide genuine luxurious hospitality.

If you want to be part of a growing operation and get in on the ground floor of this exciting opportunity, we'd like to hear from you.
