In an attempt to strengthen its talent pool, India’s civil aviation ministry is hiring technical and management professionals to tackle the challenges of the world’s ninth largest aviation market.
The move is also aimed at creating a data bank of India’s civil aviation sector, which is poised to be the third-largest growing market by 2020 after the US and China. According to the ministry’s estimates, the civil aviation sector will employ around a million personnel directly by 2035.
“We have already initiated to hire over 50 engineering and management graduates for our economic regulatory division, where the new recruits will prepare economic research papers including consultation papers, discussion papers on a given problem relating to the civil aviation sector, besides skill building,” said a senior civil aviation ministry official requesting anonymity.
This comes in the backdrop of the government anticipating rapid growth in aviation sector as it plans to roll-out regional connectivity scheme to connect unserved and underserved airports which number over 394 airstrips and airports. Of these only 77 airports have air operations.
“This exercise is being done to meet the goals associated with regional connectivity scheme and will also help the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) which will be heavily burdened with the growth happening in India’s aviation space,” said another government official who also didn’t want to be named.
