Report from WP2
As aviation education undergoes rapid transformation driven by sustainability goals and accelerating digitalisation, this report offers a powerful, evidence-based vision of how universities must redesign teaching to prepare future air transport professionals. Drawing on European pedagogical research, cross-institutional surveys, and hands-on examples from universities and aviation training centres, the study reveals the most effective instructional approaches—project-based learning, simulations, flipped classrooms, scenario-based learning—and the digital tools that truly enhance them. Far from being a simple catalogue of methods, the report provides a strategic roadmap for educators seeking to build engaging, technology-rich, and sustainability-oriented learning environments aligned with the needs of the green and digital aviation workforce. It is an essential resource for anyone shaping the next generation of teaching and learning in air transport.
Report from WP2
As aviation accelerates into an era shaped by automation, AI, big data, and the urgent pressure to decarbonise, this report offers a rare, comprehensive look at how the workforce of the future is being rewritten in real time. Drawing on an extensive transnational study conducted across Europe, the analysis reveals the new occupations emerging at the intersection of aviation, digital technologies, and green transformation—roles that did not exist even a decade ago but will soon become essential. From cyber-resilience engineers and digital-twin specialists to sustainability analysts and hybrid ICT-aviation professionals, the report exposes the skills gaps that threaten the sector’s growth and shows how universities, training providers, and employers must rethink qualifications to keep pace with this twin transition. Rich in data, forward-looking, and grounded in the realities of industry needs, it is an indispensable guide for anyone shaping the aviation workforce of tomorrow.

Scientific Papers and Articles
This article offers a compelling look into how the aviation sector is redefining its workforce for a future shaped by digitalisation, sustainability, and rapid structural change. Drawing on a uniquely broad international survey, spanning employees, managers, education providers, and regulatory stakeholders across more than 15 countrie, the study reveals how new technologies, green transitions, and emerging operational demands are transforming the very nature of aviation jobs and qualifications. Through the AVIONIC Erasmus+ project, the authors bring forward evidence-based insights into the competencies that will define next-generation aviation professionals, while outlining how universities and industry can collaborate to modernise curricula, strengthen digital and green skills, and create globally transparent qualifications aligned with ICAO, ACI Europe, ESCO, and EQF frameworks. This article stands out as a forward-looking roadmap for preparing adaptable, highly qualified human resources capable of thriving in an increasingly complex and technology-driven air transport environment.

Aviation is entering a decisive decade of transformation, and this article reveals why developing green skills is becoming just as critical as adopting new technologies or alternative fuels. As the sector navigates climate pressures, digitalisation, and shifting global expectations, the study uncovers how emerging sustainability demands are reshaping airport jobs, redefining required competences, and creating entirely new professional profiles across Europe. Drawing on international policy analysis, expert insights, and survey data from more than 200 directors and employees in the air transport industry, the article offers a unique, evidence-based perspective on what the future sustainable aviation workforce must look like. It demonstrates that green competences are no longer optional add-ons but core requirements for operational readiness, regulatory compliance, and long-term competitiveness—making this research essential reading for anyone shaping the future of aviation, from educators and policymakers to industry leaders.
