"航空業面臨機師短缺"

儘管航空業的前景是成長有望，許多人擔憂人員短缺。

依照預測，亞洲的飛機數量預計在接下來二十年間會翻三倍，屆時對新飛機的需求將達到13,000架。然而，現在有個疑慮──會有足夠的機師駕駛飛機、並有足夠的技師維修飛機嗎？

許多航空公司，尤其是在亞太平洋地區，現在亟缺機師。事實上，據報2032年前將會需要50萬名機師以達到航空旅遊大幅增加的需求。關於這個短缺問題，在世界各處開設機師培訓學校的飛機製造商波音打算跟政府、培訓機構和航空公司合作以握有先機，並把焦點放在培訓機師的課程上。

同時，技師據說也會不足。技師需要日夜都工作，而且常常是在糟糕的天候狀況下工作，這讓許多年輕人敲退堂鼓、不進入這個業界，因此讓航空公司招募人才的過程更加困難。

(Travel) Airline Industry Faces Pilot Shortage

Although prospects for growth in the industry look promising, many worry about the lack of personnel.

Based on predictions, Asias airplane fleet is expected to triple over the next two decades, with the demand for new planes amounting to nearly 13,000. However, there is one concern V will there be enough pilots to fly them and enough technicians to maintain them?

Many airlines, especially in Asia Pacific, are now in desperate need of pilots. In fact, it has been reported that half a million pilots will be needed globally by 2032 to meet the explosion in demand for air travel. With regard to the shortage, aircraft manufacturer Boeing, which runs pilot training schools in various parts of the world, plans to stay ahead of the problem by teaming up with governments, training agencies and airlines, and focusing on a training curriculum that allows the training of those pilots.

Meanwhile, technicians are also said to be in short supply. The need to work day and night, and often in poor weather conditions, has put many young people off entering the industry, thus making it difficult for airlines to recruit talent.
