The MRO Asia-Pacific event held in Singapore from September 26 to 28, 2023, served as a crucial gathering for aviation industry professionals across the Asia-Pacific region. The event shed light on several key takeaways and insights that highlighted the current dynamics in this post-COVID time. One of the most pressing issues discussed was the surging demand for talent across the aviation industry. With the growing number of airlines and aircraft in the region, the need for support has skyrocketed, which has since presented a significant challenge – the scarcity of skilled talent. Industry leaders have expressed concern about the talent drain from the region as professionals seek opportunities in other parts of the world or in other industries, leading to a shortage of talent in the APAC region. This phenomenon emphasizes the urgency for companies to act swiftly and strategically to address the shortage; otherwise, its repercussions could snowball over the course of time.
