In a bold move to tackle the growing pilot shortage crisis gripping the aviation industry, Avia Solutions Group (ASG), the world’s largest ACMI provider, has unveiled its groundbreaking Pilot Runway program. This innovative initiative, launched through its subsidiary BAA Training, aims to train 200 new pilots annually, providing a much-needed solution to the pressing demand for qualified aviators.

The aviation industry is facing unprecedented challenges as the demand for pilots continues to escalate. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), airlines worldwide will need to recruit between 500,000 and 600,000 new pilots over the next two decades. Regional airlines, in particular, find themselves in a precarious position as an increasing number of pilots retire early, exacerbating the shortage.

The Pilot Runway program represents ASG’s proactive response to this industry-wide challenge. With a fleet of 212 aircraft under its banner, ASG recognizes the urgent need to bolster the ranks of qualified pilots to support its global expansion and growth. By partnering with its ACMI companies, starting with Avion Express, ASG aims to provide a comprehensive training program that not only addresses its internal pilot demands but also extends its support to external airlines grappling with the shortage.

Jonas Janukenas, CEO of Avia Solutions Group, emphasizes the program’s dual purpose, stating, “As the largest ACMI provider, every bout of expansion brings our demand for qualified pilots up. However, the program will train pilots not only for group companies but also for external airlines, as the shortage of these specialists is felt throughout the aviation industry.”

The Pilot Runway program offers a financed training model with a job guarantee, providing aspiring pilots with a viable pathway into the industry. Through rigorous training and hands-on experience, participants will acquire the skills and expertise necessary to embark on successful aviation careers.
