Rapid growth leaves Asian airlines needing pilots
Asian airlines expand fastest ever as 28 new planes roll out weekly, boosting economies but tightening safety as pilots rise with demand. Asia-Pacific accounts for 31 percent of traffic and may reach 42 percent in 20 years. Boeing warns 216,000 new pilots needed in two decades amid a region-wide shortage. Airlines like AirAsia spur growth while training, safety standards, and infrastructure struggle to keep pace, with Peach Aviation cutting flights due to pilot limits.
