Why ISAT Matters

Aviation Training Outlook –
Horizon 2034

According to Airbus, Boeing, and CAE, the global aviation industry will require over 1.34 million new professionals by 2034 — including pilots, maintenance technicians, cabin crew, and air traffic controllers (ATCOs).
The Middle East, Africa, and India will account for 465,000 of these new professionals — nearly 30% of global demand.
Meeting this demand will require 400+ new or expanded Approved Training Organizations (ATOs) across these regions — from flight schools to maintenance academies and cabin crew training centres.

ISAT is built for this challenge — a strategic hub where airlines, training providers, and innovators can plan, source, and collaborate in one central location.
