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 "Airline and Business Jet Pilot Demand Outlook 10-Year View" report projects an "unprecedented demand" for pilots, forecasting over half a million active airline and business jet pilots by 2028, with 300,000 being new.
- Business aviation pilot demand is expected to increase by 4%, driven by new aircraft deliveries and a reduction in idle pre-owned jets, leading to nearly 100% turnover for new business jet pilots.
- The high demand is prompting closer collaboration between fleet operators and training providers on pilot selection and training methods to reduce costs and improve pilot success rates.
