For those seeking a career in the skies, there is now a great opportunity for them to pursue their dreams. Hong Kong Airlines started its second recruitment drive, which will last until February 15, to recruit a new batch of highly motivated locals to join the Cadet Pilot Programme.
The recruitment is driven partly in response to the airline’s high growth rate. Hong Kong Airlines served a record seven million passengers in 2017, which represents a 10 per cent rise year on year, exceeding the industry average of 7.5 per cent. As such, the airline has been investing heavily in new products, services and infrastructure to help cater for growing demand.
“Hong Kong Airlines is currently undergoing a period of unprecedented growth and we are constantly seeking new talents,” says Tang King-shing, vice-chairman of Hong Kong Airlines. “Our recruitment for new pilots has seen a double-digit jump over the past two years and we are committed in our pursuit to help spur growth in the industry.”
Last year, the company invested HK$16 million into rolling out its first ever Cadet Pilot Programme, targeting young people with Hong Kong permanent residency status in its pursuit to develop home-grown talent.
