Boeing's latest Pilot and Technician Outlook
(PTO) forecasts demand for 2.1 million new aviation personnel over
the next 20 years.
The long-term forecast shows that 602,000 pilots,
610,000 maintenance technicians and 899,000 cabin crew members
will be needed to support the global commercial fleet over the
next two decades, through 2041.
The worldwide fleet is expected to nearly double
and grow to 47,080 airplanes by 2041, according to
Boeing's recently published Commercial Market Outlook.

This year's PTO represents a 3.4 percent increase
from 2021, excluding the Russia region, which is not forecast in
this year's PTO due to sanctions that prohibit exports of aircraft
manufactured in western countries and market uncertainty.
China,
Europe and North America represent over half of the total new
personnel demand.
The fastest growing regions are Africa,
Southeast Asia and South Asia, with all three regions expected to
grow more than 4 percent over the forecast period.
"As the commercial aviation industry recovers from
the pandemic and plans for long-term growth, we anticipate a
steady and increasing demand for aviation personnel, as well as
the ongoing need for highly effective training," said Chris Broom,
vice president, Commercial Training Solutions, Boeing Global
Services. "Our customer-centric approach and digital expertise
includes a commitment to delivering data driven, competency-based
training and assessment solutions as well as technologies that
