SOUTH-EAST Asia will be among the fastest-growing regions for aviation personnel amid projected global demand for nearly 2.4 million new pilots, technicians and cabin crew over the next two decades, based on a study by planemaker Boeing.
Some 234,000 aviation personnel will be needed to join the region’s commercial aviation industry: 60,000 pilots, 77,000 technicians and 97,000 flight attendants, said Boeing on Monday (Jul 22).
South-east Asia aside, South Asia and Africa are the other two regions projected to be the fastest-growing, with staffing demand of the three regions expected to more than triple over 20 years to 2043.
