The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Employment in Aviation Industry

2.3 million jobs have been lost across airlines, airports and civil aerospace groups since the outbreak of Covid-19 — a 21 % reduction compared with pre-pandemic levels, as per the Oxford Economics July 2022 study.

The recruitment industry is a dynamic and exciting field, but despite their efforts, many employers still find it hard to hire the right talent and to keep employees engaged. To help out, our panelists discuss real life recruitment cases at Etihad Airlines, give advice on how to best present yourself during the interview process, and talk about what is expected from the development and preparation of aviation talent.
