Qatar Airways, Qatar's flagship carrier and one of the world's biggest carriers, which transported 12 million passengers last year and operates 92 routes in Europe, Africa, South America, Asia, and the Middle East, has started a recruitment campaign in Romania for its local office, amid plans to start operating Bucharest-Doha flights as of January 2011, according to data on the company's website.
"Qatar offers its employees packages that, apart from salaries, also include accommodation, transport, and other benefits," reads the company's website, which does not specify the wage level.
The airline, which will introduce four weekly flights on the Bucharest-Doha route on January 17th, seeks to hire personnel specialised in marketing, sales, finances, and aeroplane ticket booking. The company is also looking to hire crew members.
In Romania, the salary of a fully-licensed pilot amounts to 5,000-6,000 euros a month, according to Pavel Tatcu, former flight instructor at the Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority. Officials of Qatar Airways had failed to send data on the wages to be paid for the jobs advertised in Romania by edition close.
Internationally, Qatar's national airline has 15,000 employees of 100 different nationalities.
