Is there a pilot demand? That’s the main question for those who consider becoming one. Why seek to fulfill your dream career if there are no jobs, right?

In an article from Flight Training News, March 2017, there are some staggering data about the coming demand for pilots. The projections are as follows:

Asia – 248,000

Europe – 112,000

North America – 104,000

Latin America – 51,000

The Middle East – 58,000

Africa – 22,000

CIS – 22,000

Total = 617,000

This article is not a stand-alone one. These data can be verified. Furthermore, airlines are getting concerned and taking steps to prevent cancelling flights in the coming years. Therefore, if you’ve been considering pursuing your career as a pilot, now may be a good time to start making the right preparations.
