Care for Our People

People Icon

Our employees are the cornerstone of our strength and the driving force behind our success.

Our people’s talent and expertise drive our competitive edge, and we are committed to creating an environment where they can grow, thrive and take pride in their contributions to the global supply chain. We continue to invest in our people at every stage of their journey as they bring their talent and expertise to drive our competitive edge.

As our company transforms, we are enhancing our programs and resources to strengthen our workforce, elevate the employee experience and make a lasting impact on the aviation industry and the communities we serve worldwide.

Promoting Safety Among Our People

With safety as a core value, we foster a culture where safety comes first, ensuring the well-being of our team, every day, everywhere, and exceed the highest safety standards in the industry.

As we work to ensure the safety of approximately 5,000 Atlas employees – and more than 59,000 flights annually – we continuously work to enhance safety practices throughout our operations. In 2024, we launched the Atlas Safe. Atlas Strong. campaign, which engages employees to keep safety, security and compliance top of mind at all times. The campaign includes a Safety Hub, where employees can access a variety of resources aimed at enhancing safety practices in every area of our operations, from the hangars and tarmacs to our offices and the skies.

Inclusion at Atlas

We work to understand and meet the unique needs of our customers, employees and the communities in which we operate. Equity and inclusion are deeply woven into our operations through established policies and programs, guiding our holistic business strategy. We prioritize creating an inclusive environment where every individual feels valued, respected and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents.

Employee Resource Groups

Through our dynamic Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), we continue to celebrate the many diverse talents and backgrounds of our team members while providing valuable learning and development opportunities. Our current ERGs include:

  • Women’s Network, our inaugural ERG founded in 2018, is designed to facilitate networking and professional development opportunities for women, supporting their growth and contributing to the organization’s success.
  • PRISM, our LGBTQ+ ERG launched in 2023, dedicated to fostering a culture of acceptance and inclusivity at Atlas.
  • Atlas Welcome Group, serving as a vital resource and knowledge hub for orienting new hires and internal transfers, ensuring a seamless integration into our company culture and values.

Building Careers in Aviation

Atlas offers dynamic internship programs that provide hands-on experience, professional mentorship and exposure to key business initiatives. Interns work on impactful projects, such as sustainability strategies and innovations in customer service, culminating in presentations to senior leadership. In Summer 2024, Atlas welcomed 13 high school and college students as interns into various teams across the Company, including Communications, Engineering, Human Resources, Technical Operations and Procurement.

Each year, our Talent Acquisition team connects with pilot candidates from numerous aviation organizations at job fairs and corporate presentations. In 2024, the team participated in more than 15 pilot outreach and recruitment efforts across the U.S.

In December 2024, Atlas announced the launch of the Atlas Cadet Academy, a specialized pilot training program designed to build a strong pipeline of future aviators. The program provides aspiring pilots with a structured path to earning certifications, gaining hands-on experience and developing leadership skills. Cadets benefit from advanced training resources, an exclusive online community and priority opportunities to become Atlas Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) to build flight hours.
