Andrew Middleton, CEO of aviation recruiter Zenon, is working hard to urgently fill staff vacancies in Gulf states.

The Gulf region’s sustained uptick in business aviation activity is driving strong demand for qualified aviation personnel, according to recruitment specialist Zenon. The UK-based company’s CEO, Andrew Middleton, said an influx of start-up companies in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia urgently need for experienced post holders and engineers for a mix of short- and long-term contract work.

Zenon, which helps to fill both permanent and contract positions across the aviation industry, said it has seen the number of jobs available in the Gulf increase by 24% since January. Some of the strongest demand is coming from helicopter operators, the advanced air mobility sector, training providers, and maintenance companies.
