The aviation industry has always been associated with prestige, travel and global exposure. But in the last decade, aviation has transformed from a niche sector into one of the fastest growing career industries in India. With more domestic passengers flying, new airports being developed, expanding airline fleets and a booming hospitality sector — this industry is opening the sky for lakhs of aspiring professionals.

1. A Rapidly Expanding Aviation Sector in India

2. Global Job Demand & Unlimited Travel Opportunities
