The aviation industry is quickly-evolving, and, because of this, precision and adaptability are qualities that are not just respectable, but are completely necessary. As we come out of the pandemic-era, passenger numbers are returning (and in many instances; have surpassed) to the levels they were at before the pandemic, and are even expected to continue rising, and there is an immediate need for staffing solutions which are efficient and useful. This is where Aeroates come in. Aeroates are a Malta-based HR and compliance solutions provider, who are redefining the workforce model of the aviation industry by using an innovative approach: providing temporary staff, fully outsourcing HR services, and working specifically devoted to the aviation industry.
The Unique Value Proposition
Through our services, we aim to service two audiences. The first audience Aeroates caters to are airlines, MROs and other companies, who need to make use of staffing services, payroll and other solutions such as compliance and consultancy. On the other side of the coin is potential talent. Individuals who are considering a career in aviation can work with Aeroates to achieve employment directly, and begin their career with confidence. Aeroates stand out in this competitive landscape because they are an Employer of Record (EOR). Being able to employ staff directly in Malta, and managing their payroll, compliance and administrative needs, ensures an experience that is completely hassle-free for both employers and employees.
This duality means that Aeroates is filling a gap in the aviation sector. On the one hand, Aeroates supplies skilled personnel to airlines and MROs according to their fluctuating needs. Ranging from pilots to cabin crew, ground staff and engineers who have all been highly vetted, Aeroates ensures cost-control and skill provisions. On the other hand, those whom aspire to be in the aviation industry benefit from a Malta-based employment relationship that can provide social security benefits, job security, and equal opportunities in an ever-changing and dynamic work environment.
Meeting the needs of airlines
Anyone operating within the aviation industry knows about the high stakes involved – many a time to the tightest of schedules.
Without a flexible “plug-and-play” solution to increasing capacities when needed, airlines may suffer financial losses and reputation damage from flight delays, cancellations and overworked staff. Aeroates work to provide a solution that is reliable by supplying temporary staff who are certified and trained, exactly when and where they are needed. Working on a flexible model, Aeroates allows airlines to respond to common issues, such as fluctuations in demand due to seasons, disruptions to operations and special projects, without the need for a permanent workforce expansion.
But Aeroates doesn’t just help with staffing. The 360 degree approach that our services revolve around, allow full budget control and rapid onboarding to deliver solutions, whilst also providing expert guidance and proactive assistance to serve the myriad of needs within the aviation industry.
Individuals who aspire to launch their careers into the aviation industry, or are attempting to climb into higher positions, are offered a gateway by Aeroates, to pursue a fulfilling career. Malta is a strategic aviation hub in the Mediterranean, and its position provides a plethora of unique opportunities for personal growth. The direct employment model Aeroates has gives our recruits security, such as local labour protections, whilst also allowing them to work with leading airlines worldwide.
“Our goal is to nurture the next generation of aviation professionals,” says Aeroates’ CEO, Giovanna Mirabile. “We provide our employees with opportunities to work along side reliable and reputable airlines and MRO companies, ensuring they get valuable experience and global exposure. All of this whilst providing peace of mind in regard to their employment.”
Aeroates commitment to this creates a robust pipeline of talent. We foster interest in aviation careers and identify promising candidates early, with effort to work together with universities, vocational schools and aviation specific academies. Aeroates emphasise diversity and inclusivity with our recruitment strategies, and make sure they have a workforce which is dynamic and capable, which reflects the global scale of aviation.
So why did Aeroates set up in Malta?
Due to the advantageous tax structure, strong framework of regulations and strategic location, Malta has a growing reputation as an aviation hub. There is a thriving ecosystem for operators, lessors, and service providers due to the country’s civil aviation policies. Legal and logistical advantages in Malta make it an ideal base for Aeroates to manage a complex web of aviation recruitment, HR and compliance requirements.
“Malta’s pro-business environment and sector-specific benefits to both employees and prospective clients allow us to deliver cost-effective solutions to our clients,” notes Giovanna. “From compliance to local employment and aviation standards and legislation, operating out of Malta gives us a significant edge within a highly competitive market.” The proximity to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East markets, alongside the island nation’s strong regulatory framework, make it an excellent base.
Adapting to industry challenges
Post-pandemic, the aviation industry’s recovery has included a marked amount of fluctuating demand and staff shortages. Aeorates are directly addressing these challenges with our flexible staffing models. Airlines, MROs and other businesses within the aviation sector are helped to minimise their downtime and disruption by Aeroates’ flexible staffing model, which maintains a pool of qualified professionals who are ready to deploy at any moment.
On top of this, compliance with strict aviation regulations is a priority for Aeroates. Staff are ensured adherence to EU labour laws by being offered competitive and transparent employment contracts and related benefits, and our clients are given piece of mind by our expertise in aviation-specific compliance. The approach is meticulous, and reduces common risks like non-compliance, which could mean financial penalties, or, in the worst case scenario, grounding of operations.
From the very beginning, Aeroates is about people. Creating meaningful connections within the aviation industry is only bolstered by the duality of the company’s focus: serving clients and nurturing talent.
Looking ahead
The aviation industry is continuously evolving, and therefore so are the demands on its workforce. As it is reshaped by automation, sustainability and changing passenger expectations, new challenges and opportunities are created. Aeorates is poised to be at the forefront throughout these changes, using expertise to support talent and industry leaders alike.
In the future, Aeroates would like to expand their service offerings to include digital tools for workforce management, enhanced training programs for employees, and strategic partnerships. By staying ahead of industry trends, our position as a leading HR solutions provider in aviation will be cemented.
Aeroates is not just a service provider, – it is a partner in progress, bridging the critical gaps in the industry by looking out for the needs of airlines and aviation professionals alike. With a firm commitment to excellence, adaptability, and human connection, Aeroates is helping to shape the future of aviation staffing and operations, one flight at a time.
