FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out)

FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out) is a work arrangement where employees travel to a remote location, usually for jobs in industries like mining, oil, or construction, and stay there for a set period before flying back home. This model allows companies to access specialized workers without relocating them permanently, and workers benefit from extended time off between work stints. FIFO arrangements are often used in remote areas where reaching the site daily isn’t practical, providing a balance between work commitments and personal life. It’s a strategic way to manage staffing in locations with limited accessibility.
