Since it is expected that the world fleet of commercial aircraft to double for 2042, Boeing forecasts an industry-wide demand for 2,3 million new aviation personnel over the next 20 years to support the commercial fleet and meet long-term growth in air travel.

The Perspective of Pilots and Technicians (PTO) of the company to 2023 projects that airline companies will need a considerable number of personnel until 2042 to support the global commercial fleet, which are divided as follows:

  • 649.000 pilots
  • 690.000 maintenance technicians
  • 938.000 cabin crew.

Until 2042, PTO projects highlight the following by region:

  • China, Eurasia and North America drive demand for more than half of the industry's new staff, and the requirements in China exceed those in North America.
  • The fastest growing regions for staff are Africa, Southeast Asia and South Asia, and its regional demand is expected to nearly double.
  • After omitting Russia's demand in last year's PTO due to uncertainty in the region, This year's forecast includes Russia in the Eurasia region and includes the 3% of global demand for personnel.

  1. What the airline sector wants is to have more pilots and thus be able to pay them 1.500 euros or 2.000, as happens in Spain, Shame on aviation how they have ruined it!
    And he wants to have extra Passenger Cabin Crew so he can pay them their base salary. 700 euros at the level 12 of Iberia that does not even reach the minimum interprofessional salary.
