Careers

Like many other sectors, the global aviation industry heavily relies on data analysis to inform important business decisions.

Data from FAPA — Future and Active Pilot Advisors — shows 13 major U.S. carriers onboard 301 new aviators last month, up from 187 in June. 

Flight schools, charter companies, and major airlines all require someone or a group of leaders to oversee their flight operations.

Atlas Air, the world’s largest operator of Boeing 747 aircraft, is partnering with an aviation education group to provide a hiring pathway for aspiring pilots.

Though pilots play a critical role in maintaining aviation safety, air traffic controllers also have important positions in ensuring safe skies.

Equally as important to frontline positions are the backdoor office jobs that ensure flights keep running smoothly around the clock.

While passenger aircraft go to a select number of popular destinations, cargo flights are often required to go into a wider array of regions.

Boeing projects a demand of nearly 2.4 million new pilot, technician and cabin crew jobs worldwide through 2043 as commercial aviation markes grow.

Although flying for a major airline is the goal for many aspiring aviators, many pilots begin their airline careers at a regional operator.

Although pilot hiring has been a hot topic in recent years, there is another field in the aviation industry with growing job prospects.
