OSHKOSH,
Wis., July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing's
[NYSE: BA] 2022 Pilot and Technician Outlook (PTO) forecasts demand
for 2.1 million new aviation personnel over the next 20 years to
safely support the recovery in commercial air travel and meet
rising long-term growth.
The long-term forecast shows that 602,000 pilots, 610,000
maintenance technicians and 899,000 cabin crew members will be
needed to support the global commercial fleet over the next two
decades. The worldwide fleet is expected to nearly double and grow
to 47,080 airplanes by 2041, according to Boeing's recently
released Commercial Market Outlook.
This year's PTO represents a 3.4 percent increase from
2021, excluding the Russia region,
which is not forecast in this year's PTO due to sanctions that
prohibit exports of aircraft manufactured in western countries and
market uncertainty. China, Europe and North
America represent over half of the total new personnel
demand. The fastest growing regions are Africa, Southeast
Asia and South Asia, with
all three regions expected to grow more than 4 percent over the
forecast period.
"As the commercial aviation industry recovers from the pandemic
and plans for long-term growth, we anticipate a steady and
increasing demand for aviation personnel, as well as the ongoing
need for highly effective training," said Chris Broom, vice president, Commercial Training
Solutions, Boeing Global Services. "Our customer-centric approach
and digital expertise includes a commitment to delivering data
driven, competency-based training and assessment solutions as well
as technologies that meet the evolving needs of our customers."
New digital solutions to enhance the efficacy and efficiency of
training would include immersive learning experiences and virtual
learning platforms.
Projected demand for new pilots, technicians and cabin crew by
global region for the next 20 years is approximately:
