The current workforce shortages in the airline industry are rapidly becoming more severe. Fleet growth and retirements of experienced personnel are contributing to an estimated need for almost 710,000 additional aircraft maintenance technicians in the next two decades alone. As a result, aviation companies face increasing pressure around their reliability, safety, and long-term plans as they try to find enough personnel to fill these roles.
For aviation companies that need specialised technical personnel, being unable to hire enough of them creates both a challenge in terms of hiring and also a risk associated with their business operations. Increased downtime for customers will likely occur along with increased labour costs and slower business expansion. In this blog, we’ll discuss the technician shortage’s implications for aviation employers and how careful workforce planning with Dynamic Staffing Services can help maintain daily operations and support future growth.
What This Shortage Means for Aviation Employers
