We believe a diverse and inclusive team is essential to successfully support the Canadian Armed Forces and help keep our country safe. We are committed to the inclusion of Indigenous workers, businesses and communities on the SkyAlyne Team as we build the Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) program.
The Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) Program is a long-term, comprehensive pilot and aircrew training program for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). Training operations will be conducted at three sites in Canada: Moose Jaw, SK, Southport (Portage la Prairie), MB, and Winnipeg, MB.
SkyAlyne, and the FAcT program, will require a wide range of skills and competencies, including skilled labour, trades, professional services and opportunities requiring advanced technical skills such as aircraft mechanics and qualified flying instructors (QFIs).

Indigenous Businesses Q & A:
What constitutes an Indigenous business for the FAcT program?
A business must be 51% or more owned by an Indigenous owner. Priority will be given to businesses based in and affiliated with Indigenous communities in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Where can I look for career opportunities?
Current job openings are posted on our ‘Careers‘ page. Indigenous applicants can also contact Indigenous.Recruitment@SkyAlyne.ca for more information.
What if my business wants to register to be a supplier or contractor?
If you’re interested in registering, please visit our ‘Suppliers‘ page.
What do I need to know about my employees?
Employees must be able to be security cleared, which will require no criminal record. We will be tracking the number of Indigenous employees you have and any training that is provided to them.
SkyAlyne’s operational sites for Future Aircrew Training will include excellent career and subcontracting opportunities for these local communities.
