Air travel connects Indonesia’s islands, and the country is one of Southeast Asia’s largest aviation markets. Airlines, airports, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) providers, aerospace manufacturers and aviation services companies all need leaders who can grow capacity while meeting strict safety and airworthiness standards.
As an aerospace recruitment agency, Talent Hunts Indonesia uses executive search and headhunting to hire airline and airport executives, MRO and engineering heads, quality, safety and compliance leaders, and the commercial and network planning teams that drive revenue. We work closely with our engineering and hospitality practices.
Because licensed engineers and safety-critical managers are hard to find, our headhunters map talent across airlines, MROs, airports, lessors and the military and international aviation sectors, and assess regulatory knowledge as carefully as leadership.
Our Recruitment Approach
Aviation roles are shaped by licenses, approvals and safety accountability. Before approaching candidates, we work to understand:
- Operation type: airline, airport, MRO, manufacturer or services
- Fleet, aircraft types and approvals held
- Licenses and post-holder requirements
- Safety management system and audit history
- Network, growth or turnaround plans
- Base locations and shift or travel requirements
Candidates are assessed through our HUNTS Framework™, with a focus on Traits & Temperament and Navigated Track Record, so you know who brings a safety-first mindset as well as results. Read more about our methodology.
