Pasadena, CA  — Searching for an aviation job typically requires going to multiple websites to find aviation job openings: employer websites, association websites, and multiple job boards. A new EmploymentCrossing website, AviationCrossing (www.aviationcrossing.com), seeks to consolidate every job in the aviation industry. AviationCrossing contains airline pilot jobs, aviation mechanic jobs, air traffic controller jobs, airline stewardess jobs, baggage handler jobs, aviation support jobs, and all types of job listings for those pursuing careers in the aviation industry.

With all the changes happening in the aviation industry at present, from tighter security regulations to innovations in aircraft technology, the aviation industry is becoming a new playing field with career opportunities that rival those available post-World War II. In addition, the field of private aviation is ''taking off'' as new executive jet services have been launched in response to the success of companies such as Warren Buffett’s NetJets.

AviationCrossing is a research company that works for job seekers. It has developed a database of thousands of aviation jobs.

''In this market it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies,'' says Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of AviationCrossing. ''Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get, and that is what we are doing in the aviation industry.''

The most popular searches on the site have been:

• Aviation jobs
• Aviation jobs in the Middle East
• Aviation meteorologist jobs
• Aviation mechanic jobs
• Jobs for airline pilots
• C-130 aviation jobs
• Air traffic control jobs
• Aviation jobs online
• Aviation maintenance jobs

Despite economic turmoil on the domestic front in recent years, airlines must stay competitive in a global marketplace. They are investing in new aircraft that are more energy efficient and that better meet the demands of customers. For example, Embraer, an aircraft manufacturing company, has developed a mid-sized commercial jet with the technology of a full-sized aircraft. The Brazil-based company has locations throughout the world, including a maintenance hangar in Nashville, TN, according to Aviation Week.

AviationCrossing was recently launched to assist aviation professionals with sorting out the opportunities that they may not know about otherwise. Unlike other job boards, the site focuses solely on aviation jobs, and it doesn’t charge employers to post jobs.

''AviationCrossing is a research company that works for job seekers. We have developed a database of thousands of aviation jobs,'' Barnes says. ''We seek to connect you to employers.''

AviationCrossing charges job seekers $29.95 to look at its aviation job-opening research. However, it is currently offering a free, seven-day trial to allow users to familiarize themselves with the service. The free trial is available to everyone on the site’s registration page for a limited time.
