Labour shortage hampers Canadian companies trying to replace grounded 737 Max jets

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.A global shortage of pilots and mechanics is preventing some Canadian aviation service companies from meeting the needs of airlines and other customers scrambling to secure replacements for grounded Boeing 737 Max jets.

The charter company has had to refuse some of the surging number of client requests in the wake of the Max grounding because of the pilot shortage. Stephen Lim, president of ST Engineering Aerospace America, said by e-mail that any longer-term upward pressure on MRO pricing could “come from increasing labour costs, primarily due to an industry-wide shortage of experienced mechanics.”

Earl Diamond, chief executive of Avianor, which specializes in aircraft maintenance and cabin integration, said meeting rising demand from clients hinges on staffing and space, which are at a premium in the company’s bustling Montreal-area facility.
