Employment and visas for your GCC aviation teams, fully managed.
Auxilium sponsors work visas and employs your aviation and aerospace staff across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, as your Employer of Record. We handle GCAA-aligned employment, security clearances coordination, compliant contracts, WPS payroll and HR. Whether you're standing up an MRO line, supporting an airline contract or scaling aerospace engineering, we carry the employment workload so your teams stay focused on operations and airworthiness.
Aviation runs on certifications and clearances. Employment shouldn't add friction.
The GCC is one of the world's densest aviation markets, global hub carriers, fast-growing MRO capacity and an expanding aerospace manufacturing base. Staffing that work means licensed engineers, technical crews and operations specialists who each need valid work authorization, airside security clearances and employment that aligns with regulator expectations such as the GCAA in the UAE and GACA in Saudi Arabia.
That's what an Employer of Record provides. Auxilium becomes the legal employer of your aviation staff, sponsors their residency visas and coordinates the employment side around licensing and clearance timelines. Operators with a regional AOC or facility use us to keep contract staffing off their core headcount; those entering the market use us to build a team before any local entity exists.
We run the employment for you
You hold an AOC, MRO approval or local entity, but would rather not run contract-staff visas, payroll and HR in-house.
- Employ your technical & ops staff under Auxilium
- Visas sequenced with security clearances
- WPS payroll, shift allowances, gratuity
- Contract staffing kept off your core headcount
Build the team before the entity
You're entering the GCC market, an MRO contract, an airline support deal, and need people before your setup completes.
- Hire under Auxilium's established entities
- No formation or licensing delays
- Compliant contracts fitted to aviation roles
- Transition to your own entity later if you choose
Crew-up to contract timelines
Aviation support contracts start on fixed dates. A compliant offer lands in 5–10 working days, so mobilization matches the contract, not the paperwork.
Employment that matches the regulator
Licensed engineers and airside staff need employment aligned with GCAA/GACA expectations. We keep the employment defensible and documented.
Scale with the contract cycle
Wet-lease support, seasonal peaks, MRO surges, employment that flexes with aviation's contract rhythms, without a fixed entity carrying it.
We don't recruit your team, you choose who to hire. What we do is employ and sponsor them compliantly once you have. These are the roles we most often handle the GCC employment and work-visa sponsorship for in aviation and aerospace:
Aviation staff typically need onshore mainland employment for unrestricted airside access and regulator-recognised employment, issued through MOHRE in the UAE or MHRSD in Saudi Arabia. Free-zone arrangements can fit aerospace design and commercial roles, but airside and licensed-engineering positions usually run mainland.
For senior engineers and programme leadership, the UAE Golden Visa offers long-term stability for the people anchoring your regional operation, a genuine retention tool in a market where licensed talent is fought over.
The mistake we correct most often: bringing licensed engineers in on business visas or offshore contracts for 'short' support visits that become continuous work. Anyone performing ongoing maintenance, inspection or operational duties needs valid local work authorization, misclassification risks fines, clearance revocation and contract exposure.
As your Employer of Record, Auxilium puts every hire on the correct route from day one, and coordinates employment timing with security-clearance and licence-validation processes.
The GCC is building aviation capacity faster than anywhere, and the constraint is licensed people, not aircraft.
With hub carriers expanding fleets, Saudi Arabia standing up new airlines and airports under Vision 2030, and MRO capacity growing across the region, demand for licensed engineers and experienced operations staff far outstrips local supply. The talent is international and mobile, and every hire needs compliant local employment before they can touch an aircraft.
Employers that can onboard compliantly in days rather than months win the contract cycles. An EOR removes the entity bottleneck without compromising the regulatory alignment aviation demands.
Reflects GCC aviation-expansion programmes and UAE/KSA visa provisions as of 2026. Licence-validation and clearance requirements should be confirmed per role at point of hire.
Aviation employers rarely struggle to find the aircraft or the contract; they struggle to get licensed people legally on the ground in time. The operators that hit their mobilization dates treat employment as specialist work and hand it to a partner who lives in this market.
