Arun Kumar, director general of civil aviation (DGCA), claims that for every three pilots <\/strong>in the country who complete their flight training, one is unemployed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because there is a “oversupply<\/strong>” of pilots, which will be resolved as airlines expand their fleet in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Arun<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“About 9,000 pilots are currently working for Indian carriers. <\/p>

Including those who work for state governments and non-scheduled operators<\/strong> like private players’ charter planes. <\/p>

Then, a few thousand passengers travelled on international airlines like Qatar. <\/p>

The total number of pilots will be 13,000 if all these figures are added together. <\/p>

Yet, there are still close to 5,000 to 6,000 pilots looking for work,” <\/strong>according to Mr. Kumar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“There is no assurance that everyone pursuing a career as a pilot<\/strong> will find employment right away. Their search for employment typically takes three to five years,”<\/em> according to the top officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pilot Licence renewal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many pilots are frequently obliged to hunt for other employment since long periods of unemployment cause their licences to expire, and renewing them is more expensive. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, a pilot will need to reapply for type-rating (rating for a particular aircraft type) after a three-year delay, which could cost $16.5 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The senior official stated that there was really an extra supply of pilots, dispelling worries about a severe shortage of pilots expressed by several airline authorities in charge of flight operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Last year, a record 1,200 co-pilot licences and 600 commander licences<\/strong> were issued. While there is no shortage of pilots for larger aircraft like the Boeing B777 and Airbus A320, we do have problems with the Q400 and ATR,\"<\/em> the DGCA officer stated.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
After Air India’s plan last week to add 470 twin- and single-aisle aircraft from Airbus and Boeing <\/strong>and induct them over a 10-year period, the issue of a pilot shortage has once again come to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The number of pilots hired and inducted might reach \"7,000-8,000<\/strong>,\" according to those knowledgeable about Air India's operational requirements. \nAir India revealed on Friday that it will hire 4,200 cabin crew members and 900 pilots in 2023 alone.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
