We know how important it is for you guys to have a good idea of what recruitment opportunities might be coming up over the year ahead.
Last week we brought you some general information regarding the aviation industry as a whole, but we also thought it might be an idea to get in touch with one of the world’s most popular airlines to get their view on the year ahead.
Here is what industry giants British Airways had to say...
What is the outlook for cabin crew jobs in 2012 compared to 2011?
British Airways started a recruitment campaign for cabin crew to join its fleet in 2010. The campaign has encouraged steady numbers of cabin crew to join throughout 2011 and British Airways is looking for further recruits in 2012. The outlook for British Airways
cabin crew jobs is extremely good.
Will there be any new types of cabin crew jobs created due to changes in technology/regulations/policy?
British Airways recruits for two cabin crew positions: Customer Service Managers (cabin crew managers who fly and work on the ground) and Cabin Crew. British Airways has also introduced a 'future talent crew' development programme for aspiring managers.
What will be the impact of the Olympics on the sector particularly in the UK?
The demand for travel will be high this summer with London hosting the Olympic Games, and our recruitment levels are set to reflect this. Equally the UK transport sector will want to deliver the highest standards to incoming visitors to ensure Britain achieves
its goal of welcoming the world in style.
What are the key skills that will be in demand in 2012?
British Airways is looking for individuals who have an excellent understanding of what makes excellent customer service, along with a personal drive to achieve the very highest standards in everything they do.
