Anyone trying to stay on top of commercial aviation growth at present is likely to be keeping their eyes firmly focused on the Asia- Pacific region. With two of the world’s biggest aircraft manufacturers foreseeing major growth in passenger air traffic and commercial aircraft services in this part of the world over the next 20 years, it’s clear that the region is a fast-growing hotspot for the aviation industry.

As part of its 2023-2043 Global Services Forecast, Airbus asserted that the commercial aircraft services market in the Asia-Pacific region will more than double in value from US$52 billion today to US$129 billion by 2043. 

The European aircraft manufacturer declared that, for Asia Pacific alone, it anticipates a need for 999,000 new skilled professionals (nearly 45% of global manpower) over the next 20 years, comprising 268,000 new pilots, 298,000 new technicians and 433,000 new cabin crew members.
