UK Military Flying Training System: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many people were employed in the UK Military Flying Training Systems Team at Defence Equipment and Support in each year from 2019 to 2024; and how many were employed on 10 March 2025.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The number of Full Time Equivalent Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) staff employed within the Military Flying Training Systems teams as at 31 March in each complete Financial Year since 2019 is detailed in the table below. The figures include civilian and military employees and workforce substitutes.
Financial Year | Military Flying Training System |
2019-20 | 164.77 |
2020-21 | 162.81 |
2021-22 | 171.83 |
2022-23 | 180.12 |
2023-24 | 167 |
The number of Full Time Equivalent DE&S staff employed within the Military Flying Training Systems teams as of 10 March 2025 is 130. This figure represents data taken from a resource planning dashboard used temporarily whilst the resource management software is reconfigured to reflect DE&S’ new Operating Model, and as such is not directly comparable with the figures in the table.
