Aviation Recruitment
Global Aviation Recruitment — Every Phase, Every Role
TS International is a specialist aviation recruitment partner with over 30 years of experience connecting aviation organisations with exceptional talent. Established in the UAE for more than 15 years, with offices across the UK, Germany, Poland, and India, we support the full lifecycle of any airport or airline operation — from the first ground survey through to years of post-opening operations and maintenance. We have long-standing partnerships with some of the world's largest and most respected aviation organisations, and our consultants are trusted by clients across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific.
Aviation is one of the world's most complex and regulated employment environments. Our consultants understand EASA, FAA, and GCAA regulatory frameworks, IATA standards, airside security clearance requirements, and the operational rhythms of round-the-clock airport environments. We understand the technical and safety standards that are critical to aviation roles — ensuring we deliver not just the right skills, but the right cultural and regulatory fit. We recruit confidently across construction, MRO, flight operations, ground services, aviation IT, and corporate and C-level functions.
From a pilot to a porter, a project director to a pavement engineer — TSI provides permanent, contract, and managed service recruitment solutions for aviation clients across the globe. Whether your requirement is a single licensed engineer, a leadership appointment, or a full operational team for a new airport opening, we have the candidate networks and sector depth to deliver quickly and to standard.
