DUBAI — The growth of the aviation sector in the GCC and India is such that 3,000 new pilots will need to be trained each year until 2015, according to president and CEO of Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) University, George Ebbs.
The GCC and India is the university's primary focus and growth in the region's aviation sector has been the impetus behind the setting up of an aerospace university. Looking at this region alone "our data two years suggested that we need 2,500 pilots a year to meet growth projects. Since then there have been so many orders and activity I'd suggest we'd need about 3,000 a year between now and 2015", said Ebbs. "Human capital is the biggest constraint (on the aviation industry) in this part of the world," he added, and the biggest challenge is informing graduates about opportunities in the sector.
