New Delhi: To boost the employability of aircraft maintenance engineers, the country's aviation watchdog DGCA plans to take a slew of measures such as a shorter licence procedure, frequent eligibility tests and lower examination fees.
Speaking at an event here today, Director General of Civil Aviation B S Bhullar said that following several representations, the aviation watchdog has proposed to the Ministry of Civil Aviation that examination fees for aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs) be reduced.
In response, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha said, "We are examining it. We will definitely ensure some relief."
Sinha was addressing an open house discussion on enhancing the employability of aircraft maintenance engineers.
The AME trainees passing out from the DGCA-approved AME training institute have to pass as many as 11 modules, and each of these carry an examination fee of Rs 2,500, according to a participant who sought to draw the attention of the authorities to the "exorbitant" fees being charged.
