The Aviation Pay Puzzle: Rethinking Compensation Strategies
Compensation has become a central focus for aviation employers, shaped by evolving workforce expectations, increasing pay transparency, and growing scrutiny from both employees and stakeholders.
Balancing fairness, transparency, and cost: Rising workforce expectations and greater pay transparency are putting pressure on aviation employers to get compensation right. Organisations must balance competitiveness with financial responsibility.
Personalised rewards:
Employees now value more than pay alone. Career growth, well-being, and flexible options are increasingly important, as is clear communication of these benefits.
Data-driven decisions: Salary benchmarking, equity audits, and pay progression analysis allow organisations to spot gaps, justify decisions, and strengthen their employer brand.
From reactive to proactive: Compensation is moving from annual adjustments to strategic workforce planning. Linking pay to retention, succession planning, and performance ensures long-term stability and growth.
Key takeaway
A transparent, personalised, and data-backed approach to compensation strengthens both workforce engagement and business outcomes.
Inspiring the Next Generation of Female Technical Aviation Professionals
A new initiative, The Spanner Squad, is using animated storytelling to attract more young people, especially women, into aviation and MRO careers. Developed by Australia-based Ten Hammers, the series highlights the modern technical, digital, and teamwork skills required in aircraft maintenance, while promoting diversity and inclusion across the industry.
Denis Manson, Ten Hammers Director, explains:
With more allies than enemies, the young women characters can easily turn challenges in the workplace into opportunities for growth.
He adds,
We want to highlight the importance of aircraft maintenance and its potential as a career, showing that it’s no longer just dirty or heavy work—it requires digital literacy, professionalism, and a dedicated mindset.
The series showcases emerging technologies, safety practices, and professional competencies, offering a forward-looking view of aviation technical careers. It’s an inspiring example of how the industry is evolving and creating pathways for the next generation of technicians.
