You may have applied for aviation jobs – whether in the air or on the ground – with different airlines, but here is a website that lists all aviation jobs across different countries, making it a one-stop for all those looking to pursue a carrier in this sector. 

CAPA - Centre for Aviation has launched a website .

It not only lists the various jobs in the industry but also has information on events and updates, data, news and the latest in the sector. 

Initially, the website is freely available for recruiters to post their aviation job adverts, and for job seekers to post their CVs, to take their next steps in the aviation industry.

Job seekers have the opportunity to search through job listings from some of largest and most prestigious companies in the worldwide aviation industry. 

"We at CAPA are again delighted to offer another new service to the aviation industry. Our easy-to-use careers website gives a great new option for the market. As it rolls out we're sure it will be a vital addition to the industry's resources," said Peter Harbison, Executive Chairman at CAPA in a newsletter sent out by the industry body. 

Globally, jobs in the aviation sector are expected to increase after having remained stable in the first quarter of this year, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA, an international industry trade group of airlines. 

“There was no change in employment during Q1 2013, but that is an improvement on the January survey when a decline in employment was reported for Q4 2012.

“Looking ahead, the more optimistic profits outlook is supporting an expected increase in employment over the next 12 months,” the survey said. 

Locally, airlines are also hiring. Emirates Airlines is consistently increasing its head count as the company adds new flight to its network. 

All this expansion work will have to be supported by staff on the ground and those who take it to the skies. 

Likewise, Etihad is also expanding its network and resultantly adding staff.

The company has recorded its strongest ever passenger and cargo results for a first quarter. The airline has said that passenger numbers in Q1 2013 grew by 18 per cent, rising from 2.3 million to a record 2.8 million, leaving much room to recruit more people. 

Budget airlines like flydubai and Air Arabia are also open to hiring staff across departments at different levels.

Interested candidates can go to their website to register. 

The global survey released by IATA highlights that good employment outlook is on the back of a strong business confidence.
