Aero-News Quote of the Day

“Aspiring mechanics have an especially bright future. King Schools recently completed an in-house study considering aviation mechanics and their future job prospects. Some highlights include a 9% supply and demand gap of new mechanics by 2027, as global airlines grow their fleets by 40%. Boeing predicts 101,000 new mechanics are needed between now and 2034. Airlines and local shops are offering better benefits, programs and salaries to attract aircraft mechanics to fill both new spots, and those vacated by retiring baby boomers. There is now, and will continue to be for many years to come, an aircraft mechanic shortage.”
