The aviation industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by artificial intelligence, automation,
digitalization, sustainability imperatives, and evolving workforce expectations. These forces are reshaping not only
aviation jobs and required skill sets, but also how, where, and by whom work is done. From AI-assisted decision-
making and hybrid operations to green innovation, flexible training models, and inclusive work cultures, the future
of work is redefining aviation at every level. These shifts call for a rethinking of supervisory frameworks, certification
systems, and workforce policies to stay competitive and relevant. This session will examine the emerging roles and
core competencies needed across regions, and explore how aviation professionals, organizations, and States can
adapt their systems and structures to build a resilient, future-ready workforce.
