Growth in the industry means more job opportunities

Over the next few years the UK Aerospace Industry is expected to grow by 6.8%. If we analyse these figures in more detail, we can see that if the UK maintains its current market share, then air traffic growth in Asia alone could potentially contribute to £4.7 million more export business in the next 10 years. This is good news. It means an additional 20,000 job opportunities.
