Career Opportunities in Aviation
The aviation industry employs over 9.3 million people in the US. Currently 750 million passengers travel on the airlines yearly; this number is expected to pass 1 billion in the next decade. The air cargo industry is also growing exponentially. The FAA projects that private and business air travel will expand in the next decade with the advent of affordable Very Light Jets (VLJ).
Air transportation is an integral part of the world economy. Business has evolved rapidly toward global markets and will continue to be dependent on air transportation. The aviation industry has shown rapid growth since the 1940s and this expansion is projected to continue. The need for aviation professionals continues to grow in all facets of aviation: management, maintenance, government and military, business, airport, airline, flight training, and air traffic control.
