The global aviation industry is soaring with robust growth, offering promising opportunities for Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs). According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), air passenger numbers are expected to reach 4.7 billion in 2025, surpassing pre-COVID levels of 4.5 billion in 2019. This resurgence fuels the demand for newer aircraft and efficient maintenance systems.
In India, the aviation market is the third-largest globally and is projected to become the third-largest aviation market by passengers by 2030 (Ministry of Civil Aviation, Govt. of India). With over 1,200 aircraft on order by Indian carriers and the expansion of Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) hubs, the country is poised for a boom in aviation services.
Boeing's 2023 Pilot & Technician Outlook forecasts a need for 690,000 new maintenance technicians globally by 2042.
India's MRO industry is expected to grow from USD 1.7 billion in 2021 to USD 4.0 billion by 2031 (Invest India), creating thousands of job openings for licensed AMEs.
Policies like 100% FDI in MRO and the UDAN scheme are boosting regional connectivity and job creation.
