Conclusion


With the number of tourists visiting Hong Kong being on the increase and the development of a local airfreight logistics centre, the Aviation Industry is providing more employment opportunities to the local labour market.


The development and the promotion opportunities vary from post to post. Upon completion of training, a cadet pilot may join the airline as a second officer. After attaining sufficient experience and upon completion of appropriate flying and simulator checks, a second officer will be promoted to First Officer. Promotion to the rank of captain requires years of experience, training and outstanding performance.


Flight attendant is also a very popular career. They can rise on the career ladder from the rank of flight attendant to the position of in-flight service manager. Those who have exceptionally good performance can go on to become trainers. Vacancies are available from time to time in major airline companies but competition is always keen.


The non-flying staff is expected to start at the entry rank and climb up the promotion ladder as he acquires more experience. There are good chances for young men and women with outstanding performance and necessary experience to be promoted to a supervisory or executive post.
