Career & Salary

Aviation is one of the world’s fastest growing industries. The FAA
2013-2033 Forecast predicts that demand for air travel will continue to grow
as the economy grows. By 2033, U.S. commercial carriers are projected
to transport 1.15 billion passengers, a total of 1.46 trillion passenger miles.

This growth combined with a retiring workforce means an increasing demand for aircraft
mechanics and avionics technicians. This trend is expected to continue as long as the demand for qualified technicians outpaces the supply.

Boeing projects the need for over a half-million new technicians worldwide over the next 20 years
