Is the Middle East still the place to find a job in aviation? The oil price fall, the collapse in Dubai's explosive real estate sector and a slowdown in long-haul traffic have put the brakes on the runaway expansion the region was enjoying when we published a version of this guide a year ago. But airlines and other operators in the Gulf are still looking for skilled professionals to meet their growth plans, with a view to the next decade and beyond. Recruitment has slowed and big developments have been put on hold, but with even the most established players still in relativeinfancy, there is a bullishness about the long term.
