In summary:
- 200 aviation companies across various sectors were surveyed
- 50.84% are projecting moderate growth in 2021
- 32.93% expect to hire in the 2nd Quarter (Apr - Jun) of 2021

Sam Scanlon, Managing Partner of JSfirm.com, said, “The results of our recent survey are encouraging for the industry. It’s interesting to see how many companies were not affected too much by the pandemic: airlines make the headlines, but the fact is, the small to medium size companies that make up the majority of our infrastructure made it through the past year and are now gearing up for growth.” He continued, “Overall traffic on our website continues to increase from both job seekers and companies - we are anxious to see how the remainder of 2021 plays out.”
