Saudi Arabia is targeting the aviation sector as it looks to train and recruit more citizens for flight attendant and pilot jobs in the Kingdom.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, in partnership with the Ministry of Transport and Logistic Services, has announced the implementation of the second phase of the Saudization of licenced aviation professions in private sector establishments where five or more workers are employed in one of the targeted aviation professions.
This is set to begin on Monday, March 4 as part of the ministries’ efforts to provide stable and incentivised employment opportunities for both male and female citizens and enhance their participation in the job market.

The goal is to empower private sector establishments by providing comprehensive support and employment programmes available through the Human Resources and Social Development system.
This assistance is intended to facilitate the hiring and attraction of national talents.
The Ministry has issued a procedural guide outlining all aspects of the decision, its implementation mechanism, and the support and employment programmes extended to private sector establishments.
