5. Belgium

Average Salary: $96,728

Belgium pays competitive salaries to aerospace engineers owing to significant investments in its defense sector, particularly after Russia’s Ukraine invasion. With pledges to meet NATO’s defence spending targets, Belgium allocated €1.8 billion ($1.95 billion) for military R&D. This increase in military orders has boosted the aeronautical sector, attracting skilled professionals. 

Notably, Sonaca and Orizio’s collaboration aims to cater to the Armed Forces’ needs, focusing on projects like F-35 maintenance and helicopter support. Such partnerships not only create jobs but also foster skill development.
