Press Talk of a labor shortage has spread through the helicopter industry, but what’s being done to inspire more people to join? And what should we be doing to encourage those who are already here to stay?
Based on interviews and surveys completed by 250 helicopter companies and operators, the UND predicted a shortfall of 7,649 helicopter pilots and 40,613 mechanics (across all aviation sectors) in the U.S. between 2018 and 2036. Such numbers would clearly have a staggering impact on the industry.
