Pilot employment opportunities
Unprecedented demand for airline pilots

With worldwide demand for pilots booming, becoming an airline pilot offers a promising future with an opportunity for exceptional career growth and development.

Pilot employment opportunities

Becoming an airline pilot has never been more promising. With the global demand for pilots continuously rising, career opportunities are vast and diverse. Since the resumption of international flights in 2022, airlines are hiring at an unprecedented rate, estimating the need for over 35,000 new pilot hires per year worldwide until 2043.

This growth presents an exceptional opportunity for those aspiring to a career in aviation.

Not only does the role of a pilot offer diverse professional prospects, but it’s also a unique opportunity to travel the world while meeting the demands of the ever-growing airline industry.

This unprecedented demand is justified not only by the natural growth in the world’s air transport needs, but also by :
– A worldwide mass retirement of airline pilots.
– The emergence of new airlines, mainly in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
– The emergence of new markets, such as long-haul low-cost flights.
– The slowdown in airline pilot training between 2008 and 2018, contributing to the current pilot shortage.

The ongoing resilience of global air transport

“A closer look at studies of global air transport since the 1970s reveals that crises have had little impact.
Since the 70s, world air transport has doubled on average every 15 years. Over the last 50 years, we’ve had crises that seemed insurmountable, and every time, passengers have wanted to continue traveling.” This resilience highlights the opportunity for growth in the aviation sector, even in challenging times.
