AirAsia Philippines celebrated World Pilots Day by hosting a one-day mass pilot recruitment event. The pandemic has significantly impacted job security in the aviation industry, including pilots. AirAsia Philippines is committed to growing its pilot force to address the increasing demand for travel and provide opportunities for aspiring pilots. Currently, AirAsia Philippines employs 138 Captains and 116 First Officers, aiming to make dreams come true for aspiring pilots.

AirAsia continues to impact aviation by holding a dedicated mass pilot recruitment day for aspiring Allstars at its HeadQuarters – Redpoint, Manila. Hundreds of aspirants participated in the hiring event, where they underwent the selection process.

“Opportunities for pilots have been limited over recent times, especially given the challenges the airline industry has faced during the pandemic. However, we maintain a positive outlook for the future, and now that travel demand is booming once again, we are  dedicated to creating avenues of opportunity for individuals passionate about aviation. I am certain it will not stop here. Given AirAsia’s  significant  order book of over 300  aircraft deliveries until 2035 under the AirAsia Aviation Group, there’s so much more to look forward to,” shares  AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla.

“As part of our value to ‘make a difference’ here at AirAsia, we remain dedicated to connecting people, places, and passions – striving to create an impact in the industry,” Isla added.

As Labor Day approaches, AirAsia Philippines is committed to honoring its more than 2,000 Allstars, all contributing to flight safety beyond its pilots. Now more than ever, amid the challenges of post-pandemic and scorching heat of the sun, the airline sees to it that they prioritize the well-being and support of every Allstar.
