A shortage of airline pilots is threatening China’s hopes of building a world-class commercial
aviation industry. According to data released this week, the number of pilots in the country rose 13%
last year, but China still faces a potential shortfall of about 1,000 pilots a year. Analysts estimate the
expanding air travel industry will need 3,000 pilots a year as air travel expands, but schools are so
far producing only about 2,000. With that in mind, on April 9th-10th , The 5th China Aviation Training
& Education Summit (CATES) 2015 is going to be held at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport,
in Shanghai, China. This timely and informative event will examine the best practices of pilot
training to better prepare crews for the reality of current airline operations.
CATES offers excellent networking opportunities so you can meet your peers from other airlines and
discuss issues you have in common. Don’t miss your chance to join the Largest and most Influential
Aviation Training Event in China!
