TRAINING SCHOOLS<br />
OVERVIEW<br />
As a result of the COVID-19 p<strong>and</strong>emic <strong>and</strong> the strict border restrictions that were put in place,<br />
a large number of commercial airlines had little choice but to reduce their schedules, which led<br />
to an increase in the number of unemployed pilots. Many of these pilots chose to retire early<br />
or change jobs. However, with the aviation industry now in recovery, the pilot shortage in Asia<br />
will become even more apparent towards the end of the decade, <strong>and</strong> airlines or other operators<br />
will have to attract pilots by offering higher compensation in order to fill the gap, according to<br />
Oliver Wyman – a global management consulting firm headquartered in US. This provides an<br />
opportunity for aviation training schools to recertify pilots returning from COVID-related career<br />
breaks <strong>and</strong> also train new c<strong>and</strong>idates.<br />
