Boeing is forecasting a demand for 1.1 million new commercial aviation pilots and maintenance technicians worldwide as the global fleet expands over the next 20 years. Between 2014 and 2033, the world's aviation system will require 533,000 new commercial airline pilots and 584,000 new commercial airline maintenance technicians, according to Boeing's 2014 Pilot and Technician Outlook, released at to 2014 EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wis.
The 2014 outlook projects continued increases in pilot demand, which is up approximately 7 percent compared to 2013; and in maintenance training, which increased just over 5 percent. Overall, the global demand is driven by steadily increasing airplane deliveries, particularly wide-body airplanes. About 27,000 new pilots and 29,000 new technicians are required annually.
"The challenge of meeting the global demand for airline professionals cannot be solved by one company or in one region of the world," said Sherry Carbary, vice president of Boeing Flight Services. "This is a global issue that can only be solved by all of the parties involved — airlines, aircraft and training equipment manufacturers, training delivery organizations, regulatory agencies and educational institutions around the world."
