Saudi aviation authority aims to localize 10,000 air transport jobs
JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) launched a new initiative on Tuesday to localize jobs in the air transport sector.
The initiative, announced in a statement on Twitter, aims to localize 10,000 jobs in 28 specialized professions across the sector by 2023.
It comes as a product of GACA’s cooperation with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development.
Targeted jobs include pilots, co-pilots, runway and ground services coordinators, flight directors, flight attendants, air traffic controllers, supervisors, some maintenance technicians, aircraft catering, passenger handlers, cargo and others.
This step comes as part of efforts to enhance the aviation sector further and reduce unemployment in the Kingdom to 7 percent, as per the objectives of the Vision 2030 reform plan.
All airlines, maintenance and operation contractors, as well as service providers in all airports across the country, were directed to begin implementing the initiative.

Possibly the airline will take advantage of the pilot glut and do away with expat contracts, similar to SQ a few years ago. Foreigners would still be working there but everyone is on the same T&Cs. Market rate is paid, and given the likely number of unemployed pilots, it won’t be as generous as before.
