Introduction


Air transport is becoming more and more important nowadays. With the launching of modern aircrafts and new air routes, people can travel by air at high speed to almost any part of the world. Hong Kong, in view of her geographical advantages and advanced airport facilities, has long become one of the focal points in the network of international air routes. Many airlines establish offices in Hong Kong, providing many job opportunities for local people.


An airline company employs staff both to work in the air and on the ground. The flight staff include the cockpit crew who control the aircraft and the cabin crew who serve the passengers during the flight. The non-flying staff are those who work on the ground performing administrative, clerical or technical duties in the sales, customer service, cargo service, flight operations and maintenance departments. While job titles may vary from one airline to another, this section gives a general description of the posts typical to an airline.
