Global seaplane industry outlines plan for growth at FOSAA conference in Venice

by

By Miquel Ros, Aerotime

A large cross-section of the global amphibious aircraft community converged in Venice on March 20, 2024, to attend a brand new conference, the Future Opportunities for Seaplanes and Amphibious Aviation (FOSAA), dedicated to this segment of the industry.

Once the dominant form of commercial air travel, seaplanes fell out of favor in the years after the Second World War. Following the advent of the jet era and unable to compete with larger and more cost-efficient airliners, amphibious aviation was relegated to small niches, such as firefighting and tourist flights.

However, after decades on the fringes, amphibious aviation is currently experiencing a renaissance of sorts. A new generation of entrepreneurs is determined to reclaim the more central role seaplanes once played in the industry.

Why do crew stay? Why do they go?

by

With superyacht crew turnover for some roles in excess of 50% per year, these are – and costly – questions for Owners, Captains, Managers, Recruiters and crew themselves to consider. The rate of attrition can be particularly high on newbuild vessels and amongst junior crew, stews, deck crew and chefs.

It was against this backdrop that Quaynote gathered crew experts in Nice, France this March for Improving Yacht Crew Retention, 3rd Annual conference. “We definitely see a higher turnover amongst the junior ranks, especially with interior crew”, observed Katie Thornton Crewing Superintendent at Al Seer Marine. “Although we have seen improvement since implementing a new package of measures designed
specifically to tackle retention levels.” Al Seer reports a 50% drop in crew turnover over the last 5 years as a result of these retention initiatives.
