Singapore (CU)_ Changi Airport Group (CAG) has announced the launch of one of the largest recruiting campaigns in Singapore’s aviation sector, with more than 6,600 job openings available at Changi Airport. According to CAG’s website, the mass recruitment intends to fill all the essential roles that are crucial to Singapore’s tourism resurgence.
The website stated, “The jobs available are for both professional, manager, executive, and technician (PMET) roles and non-PMET roles. Hiring is focused on attracting talent for much-needed frontline passenger service positions and newly created roles in innovation and technology”.
CAG stated that airport partners are providing market-competitive payments, incentives, and improved career opportunities through redesigned jobs, training, and digitalization. Applicants can apply, get interviewed, and be employed on the spot at the One Aviation Careers Fair taking place at Suntec City Convention Center on May 27-28, 2022.
According to CAG, Changi Airport’s aviation traffic has gradually increased since late 2021. Changi Journeys recently announced that the monthly passenger count had surpassed one million for the first time in two years. It said, “At this growth rate, Changi is expected to recover more than half of its pre-Covid-19 passenger volume in 2022”.
During the Changi Aviation Summit 2022 that took place on May 17, S. Iswaran, Minister for Transport, stated that the country’s aviation passenger numbers had already more than doubled to around 40 percent of pre-Covid-19 levels in May, compared to slightly under the 20 percent in mid-March. He also stated that Singapore will resume construction on Changi Airport’s Terminal 5 (T5) project, which was halted because of the Covid-19 outbreak two years ago. According to Iswaran, “Based on the rate of recovery, it is expected to commence the construction of T5 in about two to three years, for T5 to be ready to meet the anticipated demand around the mid-2030s.”
