Venari Partners’ Post

From a hiring perspective, this has been a good, rather than a great year for aviation. Activity has been varied, with recruitment stabilising after the post-COVID drive for personnel – but if one theme has carried on from last year, it’s that hiring has been largely based around attrition, rather than growth.   What else has happened in 2024? Turnover at CEO level, consolidation, and rising salaries, in contrast to what I predicted this time last year. Check out my end-of-year review to read more about what we’ve seen in aviation, and my predictions for what might be on the cards next year. https://lnkd.in/e8cdiykT   In the meantime, a very happy and restful holiday season to everyone in my network – see you in 2025. #aviation #talent #leadership #execsearch #marketinsight #hiring  

Why would anyone cut jobs in the face of rising demand? Read on to find out In this article, Airbus says it is facing bottlenecks and does not have adequate supply capacity to meet demand. Their response of cutting workers seems odd on the surface. Wouldn't that make it even harder to meet demand? This looks like a real life example of the economic concept of 'diminishing marginal product.' If you add more workers to a stock of fixed capital, it is expected that they will be less productive, because they have less equipment to work with. They produce less, but they still need to be paid the same wage as if they were producing more. So therefore costs rise, meaning that even when orders increase, the cost of fulfilling them rises, and profits fall. So if they are not going to add more capital (factories etc) the way to reduce these costs is to reduce the labour force. Of course this is a generalisation and I don't know the exact details of this situation, but the article indicates that this could be what is happening. https://lnkd.in/evXGk9tF

Aviation’s Hidden Crisis: Career Readiness and Workforce Shortages—What We Can Do Together The #aviation industry is facing an undeniable challenge: workforce shortages paired with a lack of career-ready new hires. Expecting professionals to step into high-pressure roles fully trained and prepared without robust development isn’t sustainable—and it’s time for a shift in strategy. At the heart of this shift lies a holistic approach. We’ve learned that thriving in aviation isn’t just about technical skills; it’s about creating a foundation of #mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This is where real career readiness begins. Through #Piloting2Wellbeing (P2W), we’re championing the health and resilience of aviation professionals with lifestyle-driven programs designed to help them succeed in high-stress environments. And with the #AviationHealth & Wellbeing Institute (AHWI), we’re addressing challenges for the next generation of #aviators, with a special focus on supporting #women as leaders in our field. But the solution goes beyond any one organization. Imagine an industry-wide commitment: Permanent K-to-Career pipelines that cultivate talent from their first steps of interest to their professional journey, paired with educational ecosystems that support every stage of growth. The aviation industry has a unique opportunity to ensure that every professional in our ranks thrives—not just survives. Let’s build this future together. What steps will you take to make this change happen? #CareerReadiness #Aviation #WomenInAviation #Resilience #Wellbeing #Upskilling #IndustryChange

🚨 The Pilot Shortage Crisis in Business Aviation: Time for Action! 🚨 Is the aviation industry ready to tackle one of its most pressing challenges? According to a recent article from Clay Lacy Aviation, the pilot shortage in business aviation is reaching a critical point, driven by an aging population, soaring demand, and not enough new pilots entering the field. Imagine this: You're a business aviation operator looking forward to expanding services to tap into economic growth and increased travel demand. However, you're faced with grounded aircraft and rising operational costs because there just aren't enough pilots to go around. It's not just about the inconvenience; it's about the potential stalling of growth in an otherwise booming sector. Here's a deeper look at the consequences: - **Reduced aircraft availability:** More grounded planes mean less service availability. - **Skyrocketing costs:** The need to offer competitive wages to attract talent can inflate operational budgets significantly. - **Compromised service quality:** Relying on less experienced pilots could affect the safety and quality of service. ### Solutions at Hand: We aren't just facing problems; there are actionable solutions: 1. **Boost in recruitment and training:** More aggressive efforts are needed to bring fresh talent into the cockpit. 2. **Enhanced working conditions:** Superior benefits and competitive salaries to make the career more attractive. 3. **Leveraging technology:** From automation to AI, tech innovations could reduce pilot workload, making the career appealing to tech-savvy new entrants. 4. **Industry collaboration:** It's time for stakeholders to unite and innovate solutions collaboratively. The stakes are high, and the time to act is now. If you’re in the aviation industry, how are you addressing these challenges? Have you experienced the impact of the pilot shortage firsthand?

Layoff is coming! In recent days, massive layoff in #flightio, one of travel agencies in Iran, raised many questions about business environment specially in startups. Many articles covered layoff in famous companies like Google and Facebook. But, how is it going with airlines? World's biggest airline layoffs occurred in the period of coronavirus, estimated more than 100,000 workers. Two major airlines, American and Delta, downsized respectively 19,000 and 2,000 jobs. German airline Lufthansa cut 22,000 jobs as it struggled to deal with the slump in air travel caused by the coronavirus pandemic. In 2024, massive airlines layoff is coming. The airline industry is extremely sensitive to shocks, be they economic, geopolitical, or environmental. Thus, we expect airlines to respond dramatically to the coming economic crisis. For instance, at April, Southwest Airlines said it will cut 2,000 jobs and cease operations at four airports. #layoff #joy #travel #airline
