The air transport fleet in the Asia Pacific region is huge. There are~6,200 aircraft (17% of the global fleet) flying with Asia Pacific operators, and a further ~4,500 aircraft (12% of the global fleet) with operators in China. Combined, Asia Pacific and China have a fleet of over 10,700 aircraft. That is similar to North America (10,800 aircraft) and 40% larger than the European fleet.
As if this wasn’t enough, Asia Pacific has orders/options for over 5,400 new aircraft, and China has an order book for 2,400. Combined, the two regions represent an impressive 37% of the current new aircraft order book.
Making sure we have enough skilled talent to support the current and future fleet is obviously a key priority. The panel will explore how leaders are embracing this challenge.
Aviation’s talent shortage is one of the biggest challenges to growth and stability. How are companies balancing recruitment with retention and leadership development?
Learn about the initiatives and workplace changes that are helping retain skilled workers, attract local talent, and even bring back lost expertise. Come and join us at MRO Asia Pacific in Singapore.
