Ensuring Airport Managers Are In High Demand

Each year, State Governments and the two territorial Governments report to the federal government on their local demand for Airport Managers and if they need to bring in Airport Managers from overseas to fill any potential shortage skills gaps. This report states the number of overseas an Airport Managers required in the coming year to fill the skills gap within each region.
The Skills in demand are then broken down into priority lists. These lists range from those skills in high demand across the country to those skills with only limited demand within rural areas.
Curently, Airport Managers are on the STSOL list. Being on this list means an Airport Manager may qualify for one of the following visa streams:
