Registered as Rishworth Aviation Limited.
Verified 15 August 2026
Rishworth Aviation is a New Zealand founded aviation staffing and recruitment agency, part of the Empresaria Group, with offices in New Zealand, Singapore and Sweden. It recruits pilots, engineers and cabin crew on behalf of client airlines rather than employing flight crew itself, and current pilot vacancies are listed on its own site by client operator.
Applications are made on Rishworth Aviation's own site. SkyStudy never collects an application, a document or a fee.

Vacancies we can see at Rishworth Aviation
Nothing from Rishworth Aviation is on our board today. That means we are not currently reading an open flight-deck advert from their own careers system, not that they are not hiring: open the official careers page above, which is the only complete list. See what is open at other operators.
What the operator asks for

Only what Rishworth Aviation states publicly. "Not stated" means the operator does not publish that figure, not that there is no requirement, and never that the requirement is zero.

Every published profile is checked by hand against the operator's own careers page, and is flagged for a recheck 180 days after that check. Requirements change without notice, so confirm every figure on the operator's own careers page before you apply.
Pay and contract
Contract type: Not stated. Do not assume direct employment; some operators contract through an agency or on a self-employed basis, which changes tax, sick pay and pension entirely.
Pay: Not stated on the operator's own page.
For what pilots earn by region and seat, with its own sources and dates, see the pilot salary guide. Those are market ranges, not an offer from this operator.
Selection process
Not stated. This operator does not publish its selection stages, so nothing is listed here. A recruitment site claiming to know the stages is guessing, and so would we be.
Bases

Worth knowing
Notes on this operator
- ContextRishworth Aviation places pilots with client operators rather than employing them directly. Its own site states it as a staffing and recruitment provider that resources airlines' operations, and individual pilot vacancies it lists carry per-contract hour and type minimums set by the client operator, not a single company-wide minimum.
Provenance
Where each figure came from
Each entry is the sentence the value was read from, on the operator's own site. If a figure here is out of date, the quote is what to check it against.
