What are the most typical jobs out there that require frequent flights abroad?

And NO that doesn't include Pilots or Flight Attendants et al!

A neighbour is head of a business school and he is often abroad recruiting foreign students.
Another neighbour organises medical staff for oil rigs and again is often abroad.

My brother flies all around the world as a systems engineer, as does my cousin who is a sales manager for a large pharmaceutical company. Generally, overseas travel comes with international companies that require attendance at meetings at other offices, and UK firms that specialise in consultancy work, advising other firms.

Despite it sounding glamorous, it's not. My cousin flies to NY every other week - has a two hour meeting and jumps back on a plane to come home (while having to do work on her laptop on the plane).

International Lawyers often travel a lot.

As said above any international companies, I have a friend who is an account manager for a medical media company who travels a lot and a cousin who works for a major car company who is also abroad a lot.

Some researchers, academics and lecturers, they fly all over.

My husband travels abroad on business trips, but only because he he has property interests, etc. Apart from that, couriers often go, systems engineers, etc.
