Demand
The demand for AMT technicians is climbing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the need for aircraft and avionics equipment mechanics and technicians is expected to rise 5% through the year 2026 based on the need to replace workers retiring or leaving the occupation.
A 2018 Boeing Aircraft study anticipates the area of maintenance, engineering, parts, and upgrades will grow by 4% annually as Maintenance-Repair-Organization (MRO) providers adapt and invest in handling new advanced materials. This segment is forecasted to comprise 26% of airline spending. Areas of employment most likely to benefit include shop maintenance, maintenance support, hanger maintenance, and line maintenance.
The Boeing study also states, “To fly and maintain the growing fleet, the 2019 Boeing Pilot and Technician Outlook forecasts that the civil aviation industry will need to supply nearly 2.5 million new aviation personnel between now and 2038. This significant demand is creating an additional strain on the personnel supply globally and impacting other sectors of aviation.”
