Boeing said Tuesday it forecast the demand for aviation
personnel to increase by 2.3 million by 2042.
The Oshkosh, Wis.-based aerospace company said its 2023 Pilot
and Technician Outlook report anticipates that the industry will
need an additional 649,000 pilots, 690,000 maintenance technicians
and 938,000 cabin crew members by 2042. Those estimates are based
on the expectation that the global commercial airplane fleet will
roughly double by 2042.
The company said China, Eurasia and North America would drive
demand for more than half of new personnel. The fastest-growing
regions in terms of demand for personnel are expected to be Africa,
Southeast Asia and South Asia.
