Private Jet Pilot Shortage to Hit Super-Rich

October 7th, 2019

Via: Daily Mail:

The world’s super-rich could soon be forced to slum it on commercial planes due to a UK shortage of pilots for private jets, according to a leading aircraft seller.

Colibri Aircraft, which sells pre-owned private jets, warned that big-name airlines are turning their recruitment efforts to pilots in the private sector.

Pilots at the UK’s biggest airlines, including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, EasyJet and Ryanair, can earn up to £200,000 a year.

Between now and 2038 the UK will need to find around 2,500 pilots for private jets or billionaire tycoons may find themselves grounded or made to traipse to check-in desks at traditional airports.
