Local Crew Versus Flying Your Own

Local Crew Versus Flying Your Own

An honest comparison, not a sales pitch. Weigh the cost of flights, per diems, visas and equipment excess against local day rates. Local crew wins on terrain knowledge, language, community access and altitude acclimatisation. Flying your own can make sense for long-standing department relationships, highly specialised roles, or continuity across a series.

Rates, Vetting and Liability

What Vetted Actually Means

Vetting means credit-checked references, prior international production experience, an English assessment and an on-set trial — not a self-declared claim. Day rates vary by role and location; ask us for current bands. We carry a replacement guarantee: if a crew member is unavailable or unsuitable, we replace them.
