2.1M AVIATION JOBS IN NEXT 20 YEARS

US plane-maker Boeing this week predicted that more than 2.1 million aviation personnel would be required over the next 20 years, saying long-haul travel will return to pre-pandemic levels by 2023 and 2024.

“Demand for domestic air travel is leading the recovery, with intra-regional markets expected to follow as restrictions ease,” Boeing said in its report.

The projected demand for over 2.1 million personnel includes 612,000 pilots, 626,000 maintenance technicians and 886,000 cabin crew members.
