Hello Mohamed,

Aviation industry is popular and growing industry of recent times. The most attractive part about it is that it is field separated from the rest, unless you're a airplane technician which is a job rooted to Engineering, hence people from all courses enter for this job.

Work: The job of Airport management involves handling flights at the airport, these people are generally known as 'Ground Staff'. Regardless to say, a ground staff has no place inside the place, but their job is prominent outside one.

What they do: Supervise personnel, devise and implement operating procedures, monitor airport expenditure, enforce FAA rules&regulations and negotiate leases, etc.

Difficulties: Because of their level of responsibility, airport managers tend to be on-call so at the time of  emergencies or other unexpected issues, things get resolved quickly; as the result, this job involve off shifts; challenging, involves facing head-on difficulties at the site.

Skills needed: excellent communication, eye for details, good at time management, know  multiple languages (asset),  good personality.
