Aviation Industry Players:• Airlines• Aerodromes (Airports)• Air Navigation• Meteorological Organisations• Regulatory Organisations• Aircraft Manufacturers• Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM)• Maintenance Organisations



Aviation is Growing…

Boeing forecasts that Africa will need 800 new aircraft over the next 20 years

Airbus predicts the continent will require 1050 new aircraft

Embraer estimates requirements at 780

• The Personnel??



• Increase of air traffic leads to increase of aircraft, and subsequent increase in demand for pilots and cabin crew, air traffic controllers and related staff, and aviation management

Professions in Aviation

• Aviation is Multidisciplinary– Engineering (Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering)– Medicine (Aviation Medicine)– Meteorology (Aviation Meteorology)– Law (Aviation Law)



The Pilots

• Pilots fly the aircraft• There is a high

demand for Pilots• Africa will require

55,932 pilots and 58,635 and maintenance personnel by 2030


The Engineers

• Engineers design and maintain aircraft and other equipment

• Technicians are hands-on

• Technicians must be licensed for each aircraft type


Air Navigation

• Aircraft need to find their way in the sky…


Air Traffic Control

• ATC separate aircraft in the air and on the ground

• They are vital for a safe aviation system


Aviation Security
