The growing shortage of aviation professionals —A significant brake to development
This is age of the global village
where communication is everything.
This has seen unprecedented growth in national and international aviation as growth countries strive for the development necessary for economic wellbeing.
Aircraft manufacturers are experiencing boom conditions never seen before in aviation.
Supplying ever expanding mainline and discount airline fleets.
Just look at the expansion of China’s airlines as an example.
In short, aviation is a vital economic issue
There is a crisis coming in aviation and this is an extreme shortage of aviation professionals.
New aircraft projections through to 2030
Building a fleet of aircraft is one thing

Training personnel to operate them quite another.
Aircraft can be designed and built.
A population of properly trained aviation professionals is less easily expanded.
In fact, the boom in new aircraft is fuelling a major bust in the availability of the professionals needed for them to operate.
Not only is aircraft supply outstripping available aviation professionals, but the training infrastructure does not exist to make up the gap and the way aviation provides training is Personnel required to operate an aircraft
The extent of the shortage:
What this adds up to by region
The requirement per year by 2030
Training numbers not the only problem.
There are other significant restraints on the number of aviation professionals reaching employment:
- The structure of aviation training.
- Changing technologies and increasing aircraft complexity.
- Students’ ability to build experience.
Structure:
In Western countries, most aviation training is undertaken by relatively small schools/colleges.
- Often family businesses run on a small budget.
- These trainers are not capitalised to provide state of the art equipment.
- Pilots most often train with analogue.
