Boeing projects global demand for 2.4 million aviation personnel by 2044
Global aerospace company Boeing on Tuesday projected global demand for nearly 2.4 million new commercial pilots, technicians, and cabin crew over the next 20 years to meet the growing needs of the expanding commercial aviation sector, according to the company's 2025 Pilot and Technician Outlook (PTO). According to a press release by Boeing, the forecast, driven by rising air travel demand and changes in fleet composition, estimates the industry will require 660,000 pilots, 710,000 maintenance technicians, and 1,000,000 cabin crew members by 2044. "As commercial air traffic demand continues to outpace economic growth and the global fleet expands to meet demand, our industry will keep the fleet flying safely and efficiently by supporting workforce development for carriers worldwide," said Chris Broom, Vice President of Commercial Training Solutions at Boeing Global Services. The finding was released by the aerospace company's annual 20-year forecast at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Boeing emphasised the role of innovative training methods, including AI, virtual reality, and mixed reality technologies, to address pilot and technician shortages. Broom also highlighted Boeing's focus on competency-based training to ensure high-quality aviation training. "The industry is investing in technologies, including mixed reality-- an immersive blend of physical and digital environments that enhances hands-on learning and situational awareness. Boeing is supporting customers with digitally advanced aviation training products and services to meet their needs. The bedrock of our approach remains competency-based training and assessment methodology to ensure high-quality aviation training," he added. The PTO projects that two-thirds of new personnel will replace those lost to attrition, while one-third will support fleet growth, particularly for single-aisle aeroplanes. Eurasia, China, and North America will drive over half of the demand, with 550,000, 426,000, and 435,000 new personnel needed, respectively. South Asia and Southeast Asia are the fastest-growing regions, with staffing demand expected to more than triple, requiring 141,000 and 243,000 new professionals, respectively. Regionally, the breakdown includes Africa at 74,000, Latin America at 134,000, the Middle East at 234,000, Northeast Asia at 92,000, and Oceania at 41,000, the release stated. The surge in demand reflects the rapid growth of emerging markets and the need for skilled professionals to maintain and operate an expanding global fleet.

Europe must reduce critical mineral dependence on China, just like US: Boeing
Turbo Sjogren, senior vice-president for government services at Boeing Global Services, said the supply chain was at the core of European concerns about how to face the demands of sovereignty and take on the challenges 'in a manner different tomorrow than they've done in the past'. 'The aerospace supply chain is global. Nobody can do it themselves. Maybe the Chinese can try, but certainly the rest of us, we're going to have to work together,' he told a press briefing in the Boeing chalet at one of the world's largest and oldest air shows. 'Irrespective of who's going to take the lead, irrespective of sovereignty, there will be programmes developed in the United States, where there will be significant European content. 'There will be programmes that will be developed in Europe where there will be significant US content. And that's the nature of the supply chain. To do otherwise takes too long and it's unaffordable.' Sjogren pointed out that the US has had legislation in place since 1973 requiring that the aerospace industry in particular, 'but defence as a whole, cannot be reliant on countries like China' for materials that are deemed critical.
