2023 Airport Recruitment Trends for Aviation Service Businesses
)
)
I joined Venari Partners’ Aviation & Infrastructure practice last year, focusing on airports and aviation service businesses. Prior to that, I had spent over a decade working in executive recruitment for airports and the transport industry. The last few years have been turbulent – pardon the pun – but there’s never a dull moment!
Let’s take a look at some of the main developments we’ve seen for airports, and the knock-on effects for aviation service businesses in 2023:
With passengers back in numbers, airports and associated businesses will need to handle the increased capacity
Infrastructure development high on the agenda
Cargo volumes are down
Frontline staff issues resolved – for now
Reducing pollution and carbon emissions is driving strategy, as is tech investment
Digital transformation
Capital delivery
Passenger numbers will continue to grow. What does that mean for the sector as a whole?
Operational efficiency front and centre
Travel is a priority
Business vs leisure travel
Sustainability will remain high on the agenda
The pressure is on for ground handling providers
