The forecasted number of persons employed in Italy's air transport sector shows a slight declining trend over the period from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 20.44 thousand employees in 2024, it decreases consistently, reaching 20.22 thousand by 2028. From the available data, the employment figures suggest a stable yet gradually diminishing workforce, reflecting a possible industry stagnation. The period 2023 had an employment value similar to 2024, indicating the beginning of this trend. Annual reductions are relatively minimal, marking a steady shedding of roles.
Key future trends to watch include technological advancements in aviation such as automation and artificial intelligence which may reshape workforce needs, potentially offsetting job decline by creating roles requiring new skills. Additionally, sustainability efforts in aviation could demand employment in innovation and environmental compliance roles. Monitoring these factors will assist in assessing whether the field will revert to employment growth or continue on a downward trend.
