Boeing Forecasts Demand for 2.1 Million New Commercial Aviation Personnel
Boeing's 2022 Pilot and Technician Outlook (PTO)
forecasts demand for 2.1 million new aviation personnel
over the next 20 years to safely support the recovery in
commercial air travel and meet rising long-term growth.
The long-term forecast shows that 602,000 pilots, 610,000
maintenance technicians and 899,000 cabin crew members
will be needed to support the global commercial fleet over
the next two decades. The worldwide fleet is expected
to nearly double and grow to 47,080 airplanes by 2041,
according to Boeing's recently released Commercial
Market Outlook. This year's PTO represents a 3.4 percent
increase from 2021, excluding the Russia region, which is
not forecast in this year's PTO due to sanctions that prohibit
exports of aircraft manufactured in western countries
and market uncertainty. China, Europe and North America
represent over half of the total new personnel demand.

demand for aviation personnel, as well as the ongoing
need for highly effective training, " said Chris Broom, vice
president, Commercial Training Solutions, Boeing Global
Services. " Our customer-centric approach and digital

DUNCAN AVIATION
Duncan Aviation Expands Satellite Network,
Sets Up Shop at Nashville International Airport
Duncan Aviation has received FAA authorization to expand its satellite network with an
additional workaway station in Nashville, Tennessee. Engine Service Sales Representative
Joe Tulowitzki has visited customers in the Nashville area for the last 10 years, and he
has listened as they expressed their needs. " Consistently, they talked about how we
could make a difference in the area, " said Tulowitzki. " The piece of the puzzle that
was missing for them was a good source for avionics repairs and installation work. We
put together a town hall meeting and asked our customers for their input. " Duncan
Aviation's closest satellite shops are located in St. Louis, Missouri, which is 315 miles
away from the Nashville station, and in Atlanta, Georgia, which is 250+ miles away.
