Aviation post COVID19

Will there be a demand for commercial pilots?

Are you passionate about flying? It is the right time for you to start fulfilling your life-long dreams. Yes, there are many travel restrictions right now because of the COVID19 pandemic, and the aviation industry has taken a massive hit. But it takes up to three to five years of studying and training to become a pilot.

Industry experts predict a huge global demand for pilots in the next five years, driven by Asia and the Gulf region’s growth. India will be a huge market and has already become the third-largest aviation industry in domestic air traffic.

There are no jobs, so why would now be the perfect time to train as a pilot?

The outbreak of COVID has had a devastating effect on global aviation. With vaccination drives picking up pace globally, things are set to go back to normal by the end of 2023. The aviation sector will see a huge bounce back once people are no longer restricted from traveling. CAE forecasts that the Asia Pacific will need 91,000 new pilots in the next 10 years. To become a pilot, you must invest up to three years to study, train, and meet all the required criteria.
