AVIATION NEEDS MORE THAN A MLN PILOTS & MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 16 (Bernama) -- The commercial aviation industry will require
466,650 pilots and 596,500 maintenance personnel over the next 20 years to
accommodate the strong demand for new and replacement aircraft, according to a
crew assessment forecast from Boeing.
Airlines will need an average of 23,300 new pilots and 30,000 new
maintenance personnel per year from 2010 to 2029, Boeing said in a statement issued
in Singapore Thursday.
The crew assessment forecast is based on Boeing’s Current Market Outlook, widely
regarded as the most comprehensive and respected analysis of the commercial
aviation market.
“When you add up all the numbers, you quickly understand the issues facing this
industry,” said Roei Ganzarski, chief customer officer, Boeing Training & Flight
Services.
“Our challenge is adapting our training to engage the future generation of
people who will fly and maintain the more than 30,000 planes that will be
delivered by 2029," he said.
North America will need the most pilots and maintenance workers - 97,350 and
137,000 respectively - but the largest growth in both pilots and maintenance
workers will be countries in Asia-Pacific—180,600 and 220,000 respectively.
In Asia, China will experience the greatest need for pilots and maintenance
personnel - 70,600 and 96,400 respectively.
Europe will need 94,800 new pilots and 122,000 of maintenance personnel; Africa
and the Middle East will need 32,700 new pilots and 44,500 maintenance
personnel; Latin America will need 37,000 pilots and 44,000 maintenance
personnel; and the CIS will need 11,000 pilots and 14,000 maintenance personnel.
“To accommodate this growing demand, it will be vital to match training with the
learning styles of students to come,” Ganzarski said.
During the recent Asia Pacific Aviation Training Symposium in Kuala Lumpur,
Ganzarski called for changes to current training methodologies.
“As an industry, we need to adapt to the learning styles of tomorrow’s
technologically savvy pilots and mechanics, and ensuring that training is
globally accessible, adaptable to individual needs and competency-based,” he
said.
Boeing Training & Flight Services provides innovative training products and
services to more than 400 customers around the world.
Its training and services programs are accepted by more than 100 regulatory
agencies worldwide.
