Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why does the airline insist on the 8th-grade ministry card and birth certificate?

A: Aviation is a highly regulated sector. Ethiopian Airlines strictly enforces its 18–35 age limit for operational roles. The 8th-grade ministry card and a city-issued birth certificate are considered the most unalterable, legally binding documents in Ethiopia to verify a candidate’s true age during the physical screening process.

Q: What happens after I register for a “Trainee” position?

A: Successfully registered Trainees are typically subjected to rigorous written exams, mechanical aptitude tests, and medical screenings. Those who pass are inducted into the Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Academy for specialized training before being fully deployed as industrial technicians.

Q: Can I submit my documents via proxy if I am out of Addis Ababa?

A: No. Ethiopian Airlines’ HR policy requires the candidate to be physically present at the Recruitment & Placement Office to verify identity against the submitted Kebele ID and original credentials.

Q: I have an IT degree. Can I apply for the Assistant Record Officer position?

A: Yes! The qualification list explicitly includes “Information Technology” as an acceptable field of study for the Assistant Record Officer role, provided you also meet the two-year experience requirement.
