CAE sees need for more than quarter-million pilots
The world’s airlines will need 255,000 new airline pilots over the next 10 years, according to simulator and training service provider CAE. “Rapid fleet expansion and high pilot retirement rates create a further need to develop 180,000 first officers into new airline captains, more than in any previous decade,” the company said in its first Airline Pilot Training Demand Outlook, released Tuesday. These numbers mean that over 50% of the pilots who will fly the world’s commercial aircraft in 10 years have not yet started to train. “This record demand will challenge current pilot-recruitment channels and development programs. In turn, new and innovative pilot career pathways and training systems will be required to meet the industry’s crewing needs and ever-evolving safety standards,” the report stated. <br/>
