Aviation industry labor shortage hits Canadian companies trying to replace grounded Boeing jets

MONTREAL - 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 email that any longer-term upward pressure on MRO pricing could “come from increasing labor 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. “For them it’s getting the planes into their fleets as soon as possible,” Diamond told Reuters during a recent visit to the company’s facility.
