Addressing the Aviation Maintenance Technician Shortage: A Crucial Step for the Industry’s Future The aviation sector is on the road to recovery post-pandemic, but a significant challenge persists: a shortage of aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs). Current estimates suggest a shortfall of 12,000 to 18,000 AMTs, which could persist or even worsen over the next decade. Factors like an aging workforce, low career uptake, and rising passenger demand (IATA predicts 8.2 billion passengers by 2037) are contributing to this gap. Boeing’s 2021 Commercial Market Outlook indicates that 610,000 new AMTs will be needed globally through 2041, with the trade association ADS saying that there are currently 10,000 vacancies in the UK alone. To meet this demand, the industry must increase the number of trained AMTs by at least 20% above those already being trained. Strategies to address this could include: ✈️ Increasing financial compensation: Making the role more attractive by acknowledging the high skill and training required. ✈️ Diversifying recruitment efforts: Expanding marketing to underrepresented groups (currently, <10% of aviation and aerospace engineers are female, for example). ✈️ Mentorship programs: Leveraging the experience of current professionals to guide and inspire the next generation. At Aviation in Reach, our team of experienced mentors are dedicated to supporting aspiring aviation professionals and levelling the playing field for those traditionally underrepresented in the industry. If you know someone looking to start a career in aviation engineering, please share this post with them. We’ll be reopening applications this summer. This Aviation Maintenance Technician Day, let’s work together to secure the future of aviation by investing in the next generation. #MentorshipMatters #AviationIndustry #Aerospace

Being a nationally licensed AMT is a challenging job and (Globally) requires certain (non-certifying) abilities and expertise. Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) play a critical role in the aviation industry (despite global recruiters and UK & EU HR departments alike, still defining UK CAA/MAA Category B & C Qualified and Experienced - Licensed Personnel, as Entry Level candidates)? ICAO Aircraft Maintenance Technician Engineer Mechanic (AMTEM), certifying RIVERS OF BELIEF… Question: What are the components of intellectual competence for trained, Suitably Qualified and Experienced (Engineering and Maintenance) Personnel [SQEP]? Answer: As a result of all work carried out, intellectual competence consists of: * motivational-value, * cognitive, * metacognitive, * self-educational, * research, * communicative, and (last but, by far not least) * personal intellectual curiosity components. Soft skills are tied to our personality and character, and they're related to our behaviors. Some examples include flexibility, integrity, curiosity, communication style, time management, and how we deal with complex situations.

9/24/24 12:15 MST Current flight map filtered to mostly only capture transport category aircraft. This is what opportunity looks like. Each aircraft represents an absolutely massive support team ranging from pilots, cabin attendants, ticketing agents, IT, security, dispatchers and schedulers, maintainers, cleaners and countless other quality careers. Focusing on maintenance (I'm biased...) In the next ten years we expect to see an average of at least 13,400 job openings for A&P technicians each year. Fully certificated A&P's are seeing starting wages north of 30/hour, and experienced techs moving into management or lead positions are seeing base salaries well over 100k. It only takes 18 months to complete an A&P course. While other industries may offer higher initial pay, very few industries offer the growth that an A&P certificate and experience offer. There is no industry in the world that does not benefit from aviation. Whether it is fast shipping of time sensitive items, or carrying passengers on their way to close a deal that will keep a factory open, aviation makes it possible. The absolute fact is that every single airplane will require a certificated technician's attention nearly every day. Aviation maintenance is a solid career choice in an ever changing AI fueled world. #Aviation #Opportunities #ConnectedWorld #Airframe #Powerplant #FAA #Jobs
