However, on the flip side, the infrastructure for handling this sudden growth has been found tobe totally inadequate and only now the government is gradually taking steps to improve the same.
Before economic reforms were introduced in the early 1990s, only two airlines operated in India - both state-owned. After a decade of deregulation, just two more private carriers were operating scheduled flights. It was not until the arrival in 2003 of the first budget carrier, Air Deccan, and major deregulation of Indian aviation under the current government that the country’s airline industry really took off, leading to an explosion in the numbers of people flying – from 14.5 million passengers in 2004 to 25 million today. Since then five more private airlines have entered the fray and more are waiting in the wings. With the Indian economy growing at close to 10 per cent and an increasingly affluent 300 million-strong middle class, the potential for growth in air travel is phenomenal. According to current estimates, at least five million new passengers take to the skies each year. With these developments , job opportunities in aviation sector in India have increased tremendously. Airlines are not getting trained staff. As a result, they have to impart training to newly recruited persons. While this severely affects their economy, it also consumes a lot time to train people. If the airlines get trained staff, it would help them both ways- to save their time and money. Besides, the trained personnel would also get good salary.
In order to meet the above burning need of trained personnel in aviation field, JRD Institute of Aviation Management has been established in New Delhi to impart Aviation education to the aviation aspirants: either fresh candidates or working persons in the country.
