As the demand for aviation workers continues to expand, contract service providers (aka Contract Houses) play an essential role in linking companies with qualified aviation workers.

Increasing Demand in All Fields of Aviation

Aviation is facing the potential for severe workforce shortages in almost every discipline. Rising global demand, attrition and the fact that many today’s aviation technicians, mechanics, pilots and engineers are aging out of the industry are all factors that are affecting every phase of commercial and private aviation industry segments.

To emphasize the extent of the labor shortage, United Airlines recently announced they would need to hire at least 10,000 new pilots during the next decade. Boeing has predicted that U.S.-based airlines must add 212,000 new pilots during the next twenty years.

This rising demand also places intense pressure on other critical staffing needs for the manufacturers and maintenance/repair/overall (MRO facilities), for all commercial and private aircraft.
