About the Squadron

The State Flight Squadron conducts strategic air transport with the mission to transport the head of state and the country's highest civilian and military leadership. The flight operations are carried out every day of the year to all corners of the world with high demands on availability and safety.

The squadron is now entering an intensive and exciting development phase. In 2026, we will upgrade from the current air transport system TP102 to the state-of-the-art system TP106 - Global 6500.

At the same time, there is a clear direction for our operations to grow in order to eventually serve as the platform for the Armed Forces' next generation airborne command and reconnaissance capability with S106 - Global Eye.

We are now looking for someone who wants to help build this organization from the ground up – a journey that broadens today's strategic air operations with both an operational and tactical role in air defense.
