With all of the talk about globalization, and the rapid integration of developing countries into the worldwide marketplace, one of the key factors that is too often overlooked is the massive potential shortage of pilots that is evolving. With heightened worldwide communication and industrialization comes increased travel. Countries around the world will be growing their commercial fleets to serve a flood of business and recreational travelers. Much of the growth is, understandably, expected to come from Asia, but the pressure for more pilots will be felt everywhere.
The estimates are staggering, with a demand for perhaps a half million new commercial airline pilots over the next 25 years, and an even larger number of associated technicians and support staff, not to mention the growing needs in the field of general aviation. The largest part of that demand is expected to serve the Asia-Pacific region, with North America and Europe next in line. But South America, the Middle East, and Africa will also need thousands of commercial pilots.
Quasar Aerospace Industries is totally focused on gearing up to meet the need. The Florida-based holding company is acquiring carefully targeted subsidiaries to provide advanced pilot training. They target companies with a proven track record and consolidated cash flow. The goal is not to take over the operation of these companies, but rather to have them retain their operational independence, giving them a supportive network to help them grow.
The company has already landed two important flight training operations, and an aircraft and heavy equipment repair service, but considers this only the beginning. One of its acquisitions, Atlantic Aviation in Florida, has plans to develop and operate flight schools nationwide for training professional pilots. Another subsidiary, A-Cent Aviation, based in Colorado, has what is considered one of the most advanced flight training facilities around.
