Post pandemic there is a shortage of pilots, cabin crew, airlines, & airport staff as the industry poorly performed under COVID times.
There has flight delays, cancellations, and reductions in flights due to a shortage of staff globally.
Recently many flights in Europe and North America have been canceled and impacted due to such issues.
Why is there a shortage of Skilled Pilots and other staff?
The COVID-19 pandemic not only disrupted people’s lives but also changed the set pattern people have been working and living.
Professional People lost their Jobs in many Aviation fields and they were forced to look for alternative jobs. But now after a pandemic, the Aviation sector is growing back to its Pre-pandemic levels.
Due to this, there is a huge shortage of Pilots, Cabin crew & Airport Ground Handling Staff as most of the laid-off staff are already engaged in other alternative work.
Improvement in Aviation Sector
The Middle East carriers like Emirates and Qatar Airways are also recruiting pilots and cabin crew frequently.
The US Aerospace Giant Boeing now projects a need for 602,000 pilots, 610,000 maintenance technicians, and 899,000 cabin crew members. To safely support the recovery of commercial air travel and staff the fleet over the next two decades.
The Middle East airlines will need 53,000 pilots, 50,000 technicians, & 99,000 cabin crew in the next 2 years.
In India with many new Airports & Airlines coming up will require over 3000 Pilots and over 1 Lakh employees in Airlines, Airports, and MRO
companies.
Jyotiraditya Scindia, Minister of Civil aviation of India stated,
The aviation sector is anticipated to create 1.5 lakh new employment over the course of the next 18 to 30 months.
Scindia statement over Jobs creation
The Indian Ministry has issued more than 850 CPL licenses in the last year.
