With its continuous double-digit expansion in the domestic passenger traffic, India will climb towards becoming the third biggest aviation market in the whole world by the year 2027. Though it may seem quite far, our country is all set to achieve its dreams in the aviation market.

CAPA report conveyed, “As on FY 2017, the current staffing is 1,97,309 that is anticipated to reach 4,32,021 by FY27, and these would be direct job offers.”
