Careers in Aviation

Aviation offers exciting career paths beyond just piloting. Commercial Pilot License (CPL) training takes 18–24 months and costs ₹35–60 lakh, but offers starting salaries of ₹1. 5–3 lakh/month.

Cabin crew roles require Class 12 pass, good communication, and height/weight eligibility — starting at ₹25,000–60,000/month. Airport management, Air Traffic Control (ATC via AAI recruitment), aircraft maintenance engineering (AME), and aviation logistics are strong ground-based options. DGCA regulates all aviation training in India.

Indigo, Air India, and IndiGo are major domestic recruiters. Growth in Indian aviation — India is set to be the world's 3rd largest aviation market — means strong long-term demand.
