First HKIA Virtual Job Fair Offers Over 500 Airport Job Openings

(HONG KONG, 12 November 2020, 1130hrs)  –  Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA) and the Labour Department today jointly kicked off the first Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) Virtual Job Fair, offering over 500 job openings at approximately 30 companies across the airport community.

Running for two days from 12 to 13 November, the HKIA Virtual Job Fair 2020 provides job opportunities covering many different aspects of airport operations including air cargo, airport security, baggage handling, technical services, engineering, customer service and more. Following a free registration, participants can visit the virtual booths of participating companies online, browse vacancies and chat with company representatives directly for job applications and interview arrangements. Prior to the event, approximately 6 000 participants have registered.

Florence Chung, Executive Director, Human Resources & Administration, AA, said, “Hosting the Job Fair online this year demonstrates how we are adapting to changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. While different airport companies are offering job openings in their respective specialised fields, AA’s Management Trainee Programme and Graduate Engineer Programme are now open for application, to groom potential talents into future leaders. We believe that when the pandemic subsides and global air travel recovers, the industry will once again thrive and continue to provide employment opportunities.”

In addition to promoting job openings, the Job Fair will feature six career talks hosted via live webcast over the course of its two days. During these talks, representatives from participating companies will provide information on a wide variety of roles in the aviation industry.
