The labour markets of Serbia, Macedonia, and Albania are set to undergo a transformational change with the advent of a completely liberalised labour market on March 1, which is expected to improve the overall business climate and aid the aviation industry. The three countries are tackling labour shortages in different sectors within aviation, including maintenance, ground handling, and air traffic control. Establishing a unified labour market for an estimated eleven million people means easier access to a larger pool of talent across these nations, eliminating the hurdles of red tape and institutional constraints. Under the new rules starting this March, citizens of these nations can work in any of the three countries under the same conditions as their native counterparts.
Finally. I hope BEG and AirSerbia profit out of this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteOn other words: we're gonna slash worker's rights and working conditions to entice more profit to be extracted
DeleteCan someone say why Serbia, Albania and Macedonia did this? Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro seems like more obvious partners, since they are economically and politically closer.
ReplyDeleteBecause these three countries are part of Open Balkan initiative.
DeleteHow exactly is Serbia politically closer to Bosnia and Montenegro than to e.g Macedonia?
DeleteEven in economic terms Serbia exports more to Macedonia than to Montenegro
It was political. Montenegro and Bosnia governments didn't want to be part of the initiative. Now Montenegro changed its mind in the meantime (new gov't), while Bosnia and Pristina institutions are still outside of Open Balkan negotiations and agreements.
DeleteThis means that now i can apply for cabin crew at Air Serbia even though i am macedonian citizen?
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteGreat
DeleteYou would probably have to speak Serbian pretty well, although that's not an issue for most Macedonians.
DeleteThis is good news as it would be great to see Macedonians, Albanians and others working as Cabin Crews on Air Serbia flights. Don't think having a working knowledge of Serbian is a necessity as long as they are fluent in English. Knowing some Serbian would of course be a great plus though.
ReplyDeleteIt would be good to have people from the region working at AS.
DeleteDoes Ju have steward/ stewardesses shortage? I thought over 100 people applied.
ReplyDeleteNo it does not. Over 1000, not 100, people applied actually and I don't know how you connected this with JU cabin crew
DeleteBecause we are talking about potential new workers from MAK and ALB so I figured it was safe to think that some of these people many apply to work at Air Srbija.
DeleteThey can apply but there isn't a shortage of crew.
DeleteOK, no shortage of crew.
DeleteDoes anybody knows the average cabin crew salary of JU?
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteSomewhere in a range 850-1500 eur depending on hours flown....
DeleteI think that is not enough for living in BEG.
DeleteFor aviation sector it might be a little bit late as Emirate countries absorbed most of the potential and still does....
