Aviation is ‘turning the corner’ after the downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Experts from Approved Training Organisations offer their analysis of the job market number and top tips for aspiring commercial pilots.

After almost two years of very significant turmoil for the global aviation industry, this edition of ‘Go Commercial’ represents something of a turning point. High uncertainty and reduced air travel are slowly (and finally) becoming a thing of the past, and most forecasts point to a more normal future where the problem may actually be the opposite: not having enough aircraft and pilots to meet demand. Our analysis of the market shows why this may be a good time to start your professional pilot training, and we will discuss how to choose a school, how to prepare and how to deal with the challenges of flight training.

No permanent Covid effect In terms of the job market for pilots, the big question that lingered ever since the Covid-19 virus emerged was whether the pandemic would have a permanent effect on air travel. While this appeared to be a realistic possibility even only a year ago, it now looks like the answer is a resounding ‘no’. Indeed there are segments of the air travel market, like the business jet sector, that have already recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
