Entry Level Aviation Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level aviation job?
Focus on certifications relevant to your target role, whether that is an FAA student pilot certificate, a ground operations credential, or an aviation maintenance technician certificate. Hiring managers at this level look for hands-on internship or co-op experience, a demonstrated safety mindset, and familiarity with standard aviation procedures. Tailoring your resume to specific role requirements and applying directly to openings that welcome junior candidates gives you the clearest path in.
Which companies hire entry level aviations?
Companies hiring entry level aviations right now include Garmin, Air Methods, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. At this level, you will find a mix of regional carriers, airport ground service providers, defense contractors, and aviation maintenance organizations actively building junior talent pipelines.
Are there remote entry level aviation jobs?
Yes, though most aviation roles require a physical presence. About 27% of entry level aviation openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be in aviation operations support, scheduling, dispatch coordination, or administrative functions rather than hands-on technical or flight roles.
Are these new grad aviation jobs?
Yes. The openings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roles that explicitly welcome candidates with little or no professional experience. A posting is new-grad friendly when it accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-op hours, or asks for a portfolio of training projects in lieu of a full work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level aviations?
Entry level aviation roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Manufacturing, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they combine steady operational demand with structured training programs designed to bring junior candidates up to certification and role requirements quickly.
