Pilot Gap in Asia Reaching Critical Proportions
Ailing infrastructure in rapidly growing economies in the Asia-Pacific region has not kept in step with demand, creating huge challenges for airlines running out of pilots as fleets expand. Led by China and India, the region’s economies will grow 4.5 percent per year over the next 20 years, while Chinese airlines triple the size of their fleets, according to the 2013 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook on Asia-Pacific.
China alone will require 77,400 pilots and 93,900 technicians of the 192,300 new airline pilots and 215,300 new technicians needed in the region through 2032, said the Boeing report.
“There is a very real, urgent demand…and the industry will not be able to meet it…While Boeing is investing in technologies to attract and retain young people, this is an industry-wide issue that can be solved only with industry-wide solutions,†said Boeing Flight Services global sales director Bob Bellitto in a conference call. In an effort to contribute to such broader “solutions,†Boeing now plans to license its courseware to help save resources and costs for operators, Bellitto said.
While some airlines like Air India have aggressively established their own training centers, money to support the schools remains scarce. The industry needs more flight schools with quality, said Bellitto.

there are still 6000 pilots unemployed in India.you fools first go and check indian market.Fist give jobs to unemployed pilots who are sitting at home.then put your article in website
By giving these type of base-less articles whom they are fooling. There are more than 5000 unemployed pilots in India some are doing ground jobs in the feeling that they will get them-self in touch with aviation and few left the aviation sector. Do something for them and than say anything.
Stop being an ignorant reader, u can’t employ 200 hrs cpl holders for jet operations even if u have 500000unemployed in India, it’s your own people who don’t let you get employed.
Anyway thanks for ur concern for them.
Oh god! Us unemployed pilots will only take jet experience once we get through an airline so that we know what fleet to train for.. Mr. Rajat, reading ur remark, u don’t seem to be a pilot.. Well if u are, then slap urself!
