When is the Next ATC Recruitment for AAI Expected?

Due to the implementation of various Austerity Measures by AAI, the next JE ATC (Junior Executive Air Traffic Controller) recruitment is not expected to be announced in the near future. However, there is a possibility that it might be announced in early 2023. Specific timelines remain speculative as of now.

Recent Updates and Circulars

There is a circular regarding the suspension of fresh recruitment due to fiscal constraints. The ATC Exam is not an annual or periodically recurring event but is based on vacancy requirements. The announcement of the next ATC recruitment is estimated to occur between the end of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023.

It should be noted that the number of vacancies announced for the next recruitment is likely to be significantly lower compared to those announced in AAI Recruitment Advertisements, No. 05/2020.

Background and Context

Despite the current subsided vacancy levels, the Air Traffic Control Department previously faced severe manpower shortages, necessitating back-to-back recruitment drives, even twice in 2016. While a complete resolution of manpower deficiencies in such a large organization is unachievable, significant progress can be made to manage operations efficiently.

Given the current state of the organization, it is difficult to predict with certainty that the next ATC recruitment will be announced. While many are hopeful that an announcement will be made around June-July 2023, contingency plans should be in place given the uncertain nature of such predictions.

Stay Informed and Prepare

To stay updated on potential future vacancies, it is advisable to regularly follow employment newspapers and websites. Keeping abreast of the latest updates ensures you can apply whenever you are eligible and are prepared.

Note: The ability to predict when the notification for application will be released is highly uncertain and cannot be modeled precisely due to external economic and organizational factors.
