00:00As of June 2022, IATA, which is one of the key stakeholders and bodies in the aviation industry,

00:08they have documented and they've shared data that globally global air travel is at 71 percent

00:16of where it was before the pandemic. At 71 percent already we're seeing a lot of airlines

00:22are having and a lot of operators in general are having a lot of issues in terms of

00:27personnel shortages and just getting people quickly enough back in their roles and then

00:35in order to get the planes into the sky. Jobs within the aviation industry are seen a bit

00:42different to what they were before the pandemic. Now if someone considers joining the aviation

00:48industry they will ask themselves what if there's another variant, what if there's another pandemic,

00:54will I lose my job? So there's that uncertainty. This effect will most probably

01:00continue in its current form for the near term future and that is because in order to

01:10get people back up in there, in order to get people working in aviation jobs again,

01:16it requires, depending on the role, a certain amount of training. The UAE has been doing

01:23relatively well. So over the past 10 years or actually even longer than that the UAE has really

01:32built out its aviation training infrastructure. The UAE government has had some excellent safe

01:40policies when it came to the pandemic management and controlling the pandemic which has also

01:48allowed the training organizations in the UAE to continue operations for most part of the pandemic

01:55which has allowed the different operators and the training organizations to train

02:03a good number of individuals which has now allowed especially UAE operators to ramp up quicker

02:13relatively to some other operators around the globe. So there's some fantastic training

02:17organizations here in the UAE through Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah which have for the majority

02:27of 2020 and 2021 coming into 2022 continued operations which has really allowed them to

02:35be able to train a lot more people a lot quicker than maybe in some other parts of the world.

02:39The UAE due to its strong aviation industry has really invested heavily over the past

02:46more than two decades on building world-class and global training infrastructure

02:52where you see now that not only are the UAE training centers are training

03:00for airlines in the UAE but throughout the region and then depending on the role throughout
