A career in the airline industry can be thrilling and rewarding and roles within the industry are highly sought after and varied. Jobs range from cabin crew staff, ground staff and even the pilot of the plane. The recruitment agencies below specialise in finding staff within the aviation field and offer a range of employment in the airline sector.
Typically, starting salaries within the airline industry start at around £18,000 and can rise up to £60,000 with more experience. Usually, pilot jobs are the most lucrative, however cabin crew jobs also come with benefits that are unrivalled and the career can be attractive for many graduates.
The candidate does not have to be educated to degree level to become a member of cabin crew, or ground staff, but to be a pilot you have to go through rigorous health checks and years of training. For all the aforementioned jobs listed, employees should be attuned to working at unsociable hours and sometimes for long periods of time, for example for the duration of long haul flights.
Airline jobs are mostly based within the major airports throughout the UK, so if you are looking for a new career venture, you will need to live near or have means of transport to easily access these locations.
