Boeing: Asia Pacific Region To Lead Global Need For New Pilots, Technicians

More Than 400-Thousand Expected To Be Required Over The Next 20 Years

If you're looking for a job as a pilot or aircraft technician, you might want to look east ... to the Far East.

The 2014 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook, an industry forecast of aviation personnel demand, projects a requirement for 216,000 new commercial airline pilots and 224,000 new technicians in the Asia Pacific region through 2033. That regional demand is forecast to be more than North America and Europe combined.

“The Asia Pacific region is seeing tremendous economic growth and is set to become the largest air travel market in the world,” said Bob Bellitto, director, Customer Group, Boeing Flight Services. “That growth rate means booming career opportunities for those interested in becoming commercial airline pilots and maintenance technicians over the next two decades. These are strong, stable and challenging jobs in one of the most technologically advanced industries in the world.”

According to the Boeing forecast. leading the region in projected demand for new pilots and technicians:

  • China – 98,000 pilots and 101,000 technicians
  • Southeast Asia – 55,000 pilots and 55,000 technicians

Other parts of the region will also continue to see long-term demand in the tens of thousands of pilots and technicians:

  • South Asia will need 33,000 pilots and 30,000 technicians
  • Northeast Asia will need 17,000 pilots and 24,000 technicians
  • The Oceania region will need 13,000 pilots and 14,000 technicians

The Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook is closely tied to projections for new airplane deliveries around the globe. As with personnel demand, the Asia Pacific region also leads the demand for new commercial airplane deliveries over the next 20 years, with 13,460 new airplanes needed by 2033 according to Boeing’s 2014 Current Market Outlook.
