Identify potential future skills gaps
share industry best practices that will drive advocacy efforts

As the demand for air transport ramped up after the pandemic, industry organizations were faced with a strong need for operational staff across sectors. Whereas, in the past, it may have been enough to recruit new people and train them up to speed, organizations are now having difficulty attracting and retaining staff, for a variety of reasons.

IATA’s Global Skills Survey, commissioned by the Aeronautical Skills Working Group (ASWG), has investigated the challenges faced by each sector, the impacts produced, and the solutions that are or could be proposed.
