The UK air transport sector forecasts show a gradual recovery with employment reaching 70.9 thousand units by 2028, starting from 69.0 thousand units in 2024. This represents a steady year-on-year growth ranging from 0.7% to 0.8%. Specific data from 2023 is not included, but based on this forecasted increase, the sector appears to be on a gradual rise likely driven by recovery in travel demand and operational scaling.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of automation and technology on employment.
- Brexit-related regulatory changes affecting workforce dynamics.
- Environmental policies influencing industry hiring and operations.
