The air transport industry is expanding, Aviation
provides the only rapid worldwide transportation
network, generating economic growth, creating
jobs, and facilitating international trade and
tourism.
The most recent estimates suggest that demand
for air transport will increase by an average of 4.3%
per annum over the next 20 years.
If this growth path is achieved by 2036 the air
transport industry will then contribute 15.5 million in
direct jobs and $1.5 trillion of GDP to the world
economy. Once the impacts of global tourism are
considered, these numbers could rise to 97.8
million jobs and $5.7 trillion in GDP.
By mid-2030s no fewer than 200,000 flights per
day are expected to take off and land all over the
world.
World wide – 51% of the population lives within
100 km of an International Airport – and 74% live
within 100 km of any kind of airport
India is expected to become the world’s third
largest aviation market by 2024.
India is expected to overtake China and the
United States as the world's third-largest air
passenger market in the next ten years, by 2030,
according to the International Air Transport
Association (IATA).
According to a research report by Morgan
Stanley, the Indian aviation industry is likely to
recover to 80% of the pre-COVID levels (as of
2020). Between October 2021 and December
2021, ~92 million domestic passengers are
scheduled to fly in FY22.
Under RCS-Udan scheme, approximately
34,74,000 passengers were flown and 335
routes were awarded during 2019, covering 33
airports (20 unserved, 3 underserved, 10 water
aerodromes).
Due to rise in demand in air travel, India will need
2,380 new commercial airplanes by 2038. India
plans to open 100 additional airports by 2024.
Aviation industry stretched in various different verticals, where our AME students can make their future. Some of the well known sectors are given below:
AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS: Aircraft operations means the
flying of aircraft through various airports. There are 3
types of operations.
1. Scheduled operation (Airlines which operate their
aircraft nationally or internationally for
passenger transport viz. Air India, Go Airlines,
Indigo Airlines, Spice jet Airlines, Etihad

TRAINING ORGANISATIONS : Colleges which are
specially approved by the DGCA, Govt. of India for providing
training to aviators like PILOTs, AMEs, Airhostess, Flight
Dispatchers etc.
AVIATION TECHNICIAL PUBLICATIONS : Manufacturing
companies like Boeing, Airbus, Cessna etc. manufacture
aircrafts and along with aircraft it requires a lot of technical
documents like maintenance manual, flight manual, crew
operating manual, illustrated parts catalog etc.
GOVERNMENT ORGANISATIONS: Organizations which operate their fleet of aircraft solely for the movement of government officials/government use viz. BSF, UP state hangar, MP state hangar like every state has their own aircrafts for state government officials, etc.
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE REPAIR & OVERHAUL ORGANISATIONS : Aircrafts are flying machines which require a very high level of scheduled/non-scheduled maintenance. Organizations which are solely approved by the DGCA, govt of India for the purpose of maintenance of airplanes viz. Airworks India Pvt. Ltd, Indamer Aviation, GMR, Shaurya Aeronautics etc.
