A Guide to Aviation Jobs Abroad

Popular Locations for Aviation Jobs Abroad

Whilst it’s possible to find careers in aviation all over the world, some countries and regions are goldmines. The great news is, they tend to be hot and sunny! They are also, of course, diverse cultures with lots of highlights for expats to experience and learn about.

Australia. Australia is a hugely popular destination for expats, particularly those with a love of adventure. Home to various national and (branches of) international airlines, expats working in aviation could be based in any one of Australia’s cities; popular locations include the country’s capital, Sydney, and its second largest city, Melbourne. As well as being environmentally diverse, with everything from cosmopolitan cities, to colorful ocean reefs, to vast stretches of desert, Australia is a popular spot for foreign workers. 

China. As the world’s second largest economy, China has opportunities for expats in virtually all industries, including aviation. The Guangdong region has the highest population of migrants, but aviation jobs are available in major cities like Shanghai, Chengdu and, of course, the capital, Beijing. Available jobs in China include engineering, piloting, office work, and international aviation maintenance jobs. Navigating the unique culture will be an adventure for foreign workers, and affordable living (even in the most dynamic cities), competitive salaries, and insurance coverage make China one of the most favorable countries for experts to find work and internships.

Spain. Spain is home to expats from all over the world, from nearby European countries like Romania, Italy, and the UK, to further afield Latin American countries, including Argentina and Colombia. It’s easy to see why Spain is attractive to foreign workers: the variety in landscapes, climates and cultures makes it relatively easy to adapt, and the Spanish language lessons offered as part of many work placements give employees the opportunity to fully integrate within the local community. With international airlines such as Iberia, based in Madrid, and Vueling, based in Barcelona, there are opportunities for aviation work in many of Spain and Catalonia’s cities, offering employees the chance to experience some of this region’s culture.
