Nick Leontidis said, “there’s an unprecedented demand for professional pilots and a new urgency to develop better pilots, faster.” Leontidis is CAE Group president for Civil Aviation Training Solutions that issued its first report – Airline and Business Jet Pilot Demand Outlook 10-Year View – on pilot demand in 2018 and this year updated the report to include business aviation pilots.
CAE Reports No Letup in Business Aviation Pilot Demand
Key Takeaways:
- CAE's updated 10-year outlook projects unprecedented demand, forecasting over half a million active airline and business jet pilots by 2028, with 300,000 being new pilots.
- The business aviation sector faces nearly 100% pilot turnover and a 4% increase in demand, driven by new aircraft deliveries and the return of previously idle aircraft.
- Increased pilot demand is prompting closer collaboration between fleet operators and training providers to improve pilot selection and training methods for faster, more successful development and reduced failures.
