Why train for an ATR 42/72 type rating?
An increase in the use of air transportation, because the world’s population is growing at an accelerated pace, adding the fact that we live in a world where borders are getting closer, the need to travel on commercial flights has increased exponentially.
The growth of the number of airlines:
In the past few years, new airlines have emerged to cover this demand, while others have expanded or have enabled new routes.
However, one of the challenges of the growing of new airlines and the expansion of new routes is the lack of pilots to respond to this increase, without even counting the number of pilots that will be needed in the future.
According to the manufacturer ATR, it is estimated demand of more than 3,000 turboprop aircraft in the next 20 years; although, this is only a part of the thousands that are estimated to be manufactured by other companies worldwide.
Due to this excellent projection of growth, large airlines that operate ATR have the need to promote the training of pilots. This is a profession -ATR type-rated commercial pilots- that is promising and offers great benefits in the future for those who wish to pursue it.
Why should you get an ATR type rating?
Aviation as a career opens a world of work opportunities for all those who decide to study and practice it.
In Aviation Exchange Group we not only think about the current demand for ATR pilots that exists, but we also consider what will happen in the next 20 years. This is where trained personnel will be needed to cover all the new routes and pilot the thousands of aircraft that will be manufactured.
