WORLDWIDE GROWTH OF COMMERCIAL AVIATION 2016-2034

Graph showing the expansion of aviation by country on the world map

We are going to review a detailed study produced by Boeing and Airbus on commercial aviation.

We will begin with some of the reasons that explain the increase in commercial flights. The study of Asia is considered vital in the coming decades as it is one of the fastest growing continents in this regard. One of the main reasons for this is the growth of the middle class with enough purchasing power to fly – this middle class is leaving rural areas to go to cities, entailing the growth of a population with greater purchasing power and opportunities. In fact, it is expected that two thirds of the world’s middle class will be located in the Asia-Pacific region by 2030. We must keep the Asian market in mind when it comes to finding employment as an airline pilot, given the need for new professionals in this region.

In fact, according to Boeing, over the following two decades the global demand for aviation professionals will be as follows: Asia-Pacific with 226,000 pilots and 238,000 technicians. Europe with 95,000 pilots and 101,000 technicians. North America with 95,000 pilots and 113,000 technicians. Latin America with 47,000 pilots and 47,000 technicians. The Middle East with 60,000 pilots and 66,000 technicians. Africa with 18,000 pilots and 22,000 technicians. And Russia and the CIS with 17,000 pilots and 22,000 technicians. Careers in aviation are expected to be one of the most in-demand over the coming years.

In the words of Fabrice Brégier, CEO of Airbus

This year a Global Market Forecast focused on the figures for the future of commercial aviation. The study was carried out by economists and Airbus data analysts who study current evaluation forecasts and relevant data channels. Based on these data findings and applying these figures as effectively as possible, their intention is to improve the reliability and validity of the analytics carried out by Airbus to obtain reliable forecasts where important factors such as the world economy enter. A fundamental aspect is to verify and question the methodologies used with the analytics carried out against the real figures on passengers and airlines. In this way, a realistic vision of the growth of air traffic over the next 20 years can be constructed, backed by rigorous data, comprehensive graphs and knowledge about the industry. These results in figures represent a future reality regarding the growth of passengers, aircraft and air traffic around the world, which will enhance the growth of infrastructure and investment in aviation.

These analyses and data paint a promising outlook for the future and will condition the choice of piloting as a career path, which can be pursued by studying a commercial aircraft pilot course, a private pilot course or an airline transport pilot course.

In the words of Fabrice Brégier CEO of Airbus:

A Global Market Forecast focused on the future figures of aviation has been made this year by Airbus economists and data analysts who study current and evaluation forecasts and relevant data channels. They have based their research upon finding these data and using these figures in the most effective way with the intention of improving the reliability and validity of analytics performed by Airbus to obtain accurate forecasts where factors such as the world economy are taken into account. A fundamental part is to check and question the methodologies used with the analytics carried out against the actual figures of passengers and airlines. In this way, a realistic vision about the growth of air transport for the next 20 years is identified, backed by rigorous data, comprehensive charts and the industry know-how. These results in figures of what will become a reality in the growth of passengers, aircraft and air traffic worldwide will boost the growth of aviation infrastructure and the investment made on it.

These analyzes and data are promising for the future and are the ones which determine the choice of the Aircraft Pilot career, being able to take the commercial aircraft pilot course, the private pilot course or the transport airline pilot course.

Get your aircraft pilot professional license with our training courses: Commercial Pilot License (CPL); Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL); Private Pilot License (PPL); and Commercial Pilot License (CPL).

Specifically, for the commercial pilot course you will take 150 hours of flight besides the theoretical subjects related to it, both things compulsory conditions to get the license and the accreditation that makes the student a professional commercial pilot (CPL).

You can also get this license by means of a modular training. This means that you will be able to pass the required tests one by one, thus getting your commercial pilot license (CPL) at the end of the process.

Different factors announce which areas of the planet will be the epicenters of commercial aviation in the coming years. Students of a pilot course should take this information into account in order to think about those destinations as the places where they could find their next job as a professional pilot. In the Asian region, an increase in commercial aviation and job vacancies for aircraft pilots is expected.

If you are currently a student or are thinking about taking a course at a pilot school, you should know that Asia is a region where pilots are needed and where job offers for airline pilots will be increasing in the coming decades. And, what are the reasons that have led this populated region to be the great hope of commercial aviation? The high number of its population is, undoubtedly, one of its reasons. But there are more.

The increase in the release of airspace in countries such as China expected for the coming decades will certainly help increase connections with new destinations and the number of international flights between different cities. At present, only 20% of this space is used, as military aviation controls the rest. Airlines such as China Eastern, Air China or China Southern have long demanded an increase in airspace that is expected to continue to open in the coming years. Thus, this is a chance to be able to work within this economic giant.

Another fact is the increase of low-cost airlines throughout Asia. These airlines have increased their presence in international flights besides the regional destinations they worked. This other reason is evidenced by the need for greater global communications by the population in an increasingly global world.
