APATS The First Stop to Find 700,000 Maintenance Technicians

As the aviation industry gears up for APATS 2024 in Singapore, the imperative to address maintenance challenges has never been more critical. 

Boeing's 2024 Pilot and Technician Outlook (PTO) highlights an urgent need for skilled maintenance professionals to support the expanding global commercial airplane fleet.  

The PTO predicts a staggering demand for 716,000 new maintenance technicians over the next two decades to ensure the sustainability of increasing air travel.

This figure is driven by factors such as rebounding aviation traffic, personnel attrition, and fleet growth, underscores the necessity for innovative, competency-based training solutions. 

APATS 2024 serves as a crucial platform to confront these challenges, particularly through its dedicated maintenance stream.

The conference will feature industry luminaries like Denis Manson, Davy Snowdon MBE and Elmar Lutter among many others, ready to tackle the challenges in maintenance training and help ramp up recruitment.

Boeing's PTO identifies Eurasia, China, and North America as key drivers for over half of the new industry personnel demand. Concurrently, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa are projected to experience the fastest growth in maintenance staffing needs, with demand more than tripling over the next 20 years.

This global perspective emphasizes the need for collaborative, innovative training solutions.

APATS 2024 offers a unique opportunity to engage with these critical issues, learn from industry leaders, and explore cutting-edge maintenance training innovations.

By participating in the Maintenance Conference stream, attendees will gain crucial insights into attracting, training, and retaining the next generation of aviation maintenance professionals.

Join us at APATS 2024 to be part of the solution to these pressing  aviation maintenance challenges.
