Flying in Asia

Asia spans East, Southeast, South and Central Asia — from large mainland network carriers and rapidly expanding low-cost groups to regional turboprop operators and dedicated freight airlines. Requirements vary widely between states, and operators recruit both direct-entry Captains and type-rated First Officers, frequently on fixed-term contracts.

Which pilot licence do employers in Asia require?

There is no single regional authority: licences are issued by each state's own civil aviation authority, among them the CAAC in China, the DGCA in India and CAAS in Singapore. Most operators accept an ICAO-compliant ATPL(A) and arrange validation or conversion locally once a candidate has been selected. Read the licence conversion guide →

Do I need a type rating to fly in Asia?

It depends on the operator. Some Asia vacancies require a current type rating on the aircraft, while others accept non type-rated applicants and provide or bond the type rating as part of the package. Every listing states which applies, and the jobs page can be filtered by Type-Rated or Non Type-Rated. Type rating guides →
