OSHKOSH, Wis., July 24,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) released its 2017 Pilot
and Technician Outlook today at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh and projects
a demand for more than 1.2 million pilots and technicians over
the next 20 years.
Now in its eighth year, the outlook is a respected industry
study that forecasts the 20 year demand for crews to support the
world's growing commercial airplane fleet.
Boeing forecasts that between 2017 and 2036, the world's
commercial aviation industry will require approximately:
- 637,000 new commercial airline pilots
- 648,000 new commercial airline maintenance technicians
- 839,000 new cabin crew members
The 2017 outlook shows a slight increase of 3.2 percent for
pilots over the 2016 outlook, and a slight decrease in the need for
airline maintenance technicians (4.6 percent), primarily driven by
the reduction in maintenance hours required on the 737 MAX.
Projected demand for new pilots, technicians and cabin crew by
global region for the next 20 years is approximately:
