Flying in India
Hello,
India has a huge demand for pilots. The forecast for demand for pilots in the next three years equals the total number of pilots produced in India in the last 50 years. There are hardly any well functioning flying schols to churn out pilots. Look at the sort of orders that airlines have placed:-
Air India - 68 (Boeing variants)
Air Deccan - 21 (ATR + AIrbus) plus many more to be leased
Indigoi - 100 (Airbus 320)
Indian Airlines - 43 (Airbus variants)
Jet Airways - 26 (Boeing+Airbus)
Air Sahara - 10 (Boeings)
Kingfisher - 87 (Airbus+ATR)
Spicejet 8 (Boeing)
GOAir - 20 (Airbus)
New airlines like Jagsons, Palace in the Sky, MDLR etc are in the offing and many more to follow.
Cheers
