The business aviation industry has always been a dynamic and innovative sector, but today, it faces a challenge that’s hard to ignore: an unprecedented talent crunch. With demand for private aviation soaring post-pandemic, the need for skilled professionals—particularly technicians and engineers—has never been higher. However, the pipeline for new talent isn’t keeping pace with this growing demand.
During the recent?British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA) AGM 2025, industry leaders sounded the alarm on the workforce shortage that’s impacting business aviation globally. This issue spans multiple roles, from maintenance technicians to pilots, and it's clear that the challenge is both immediate and long-term.
To combat this, industry stakeholders need to work together to raise awareness about career opportunities in aviation. By investing in education, apprenticeships, and outreach, we can inspire the next generation to pursue fulfilling careers in business aviation. Beyond just filling roles, we need to create an ecosystem that supports career growth, retention, and excitement for the future of this incredible industry.
The workforce shortage isn’t just a challenge—it’s an opportunity to innovate, collaborate, and build a stronger aviation industry for tomorrow. Let’s act now to ensure we have the talent needed to keep business aviation thriving.
