The Georgian government has added professions in the state aviation sector to the list of scarce and highly paid positions, under a decree issued on April 21.
The amendment updates a 2018 government resolution regulating scarce professions in the public sector and the rules for their remuneration.
The list already includes sectors such as IT, software development, financial reporting and auditing, civil aviation, and maritime and hydrographic fields.
The new changes expand the list to include specific roles in state aviation, including:
- pilot / pilot-navigator;
- engineer / flight engineer;
- flight mechanic-operator;
- technician / flight technician;
- supervisors directly responsible for these specialists.
The decree means employees in these roles will be subject to higher pay rules than those typically applied in the civil service.
The resolution will enter into force upon publication.
