Frequently asked questions
daa runs a highly regarded internship programme and is committed to expanding placement opportunities in line with our Talent Strategy. Due to aviation security regulations, all internships are offered for a minimum duration of 6–12 months, as regulated background checks are mandatory and require sufficient time to complete. For this reason, placements of less than six months cannot be facilitated.
Internship opportunities are advertised through our partner colleges, which promote roles directly to students via their student portals. Please note that daa does not accept direct applications for internship roles.
