Dearth Of Technical Aviation Personnel Bothers Boeing

Boeing Aircraft manaufacturer, has raised concern over the dearth of pilots, technicians, and cabin crew in its 2022-2041 Pilot and Technician Outlook (PTO).
The outlook, which projects that Africa will  need 20,000 pilots, 21,000 technicians, and 26,000 cabin crew, estimated that 602,000 pilots, 610,000 maintenance technicians, and 899,000 cabin crew members will be required to operate the global commercial fleet set to nearly double to 47,080 aircraft by 2041.
The aircraft manufacturer projected increased demand for 2.1 million new aviation personnel over the next 20 years to support the commercial aviation sector’s steady recovery in order to meet the anticipated surge in demand for air travel.
“This year’s projections surpassed 2021 estimates by 3.4 percent, excluding the Russian Federation in line with the Western sanctions forbidding aircraft exports to the transcontinental country”, the outlook stated.
