Hello,
There appears to be some confusion in raising the query. Let me try and remove the confusion and try to throw some light.Aircraft Maintenance Engineering or "AME" courses are not high cost at all. Typically annual expenditure would be about Rs. 1 lakh. It is felt that this is reasonable. Secondly, it's a three year course and not five years course. This is after 10+2 stage. In addition, many institutions have tied up with some university to award a B.Sc degree. So three year B.Sc in AME with Rs.3 lakh expense is surely reasonable. What is perhaps misunderstood is cost of flying training programme. It's definitely expensive. But then one has to complete minimum 200 hours of flying. I am sure against this information, expense of Rs. 35 L will seem reasonable.Yes, one must look into it and in this case it's matching. After AME one can expect a salary of Rs.6-8 L per annum while a pilot can expect to earn around Rs.10-12 L per annum.

Hello,
Managing airlines is the task envied by one and all. It has great glamour. But all things regarding aviation are not glamorous. There are many jobs and functions that need to be addressed quietly and efficiently. Airlines Management in a sober sense could mean managing all these different jobs that make an aircraft fly.IATA has reported that passenger traffic as well as air cargo traffic in India is growing yesterday on year at an average rate of about 15%. This is tremendous growth. To sustain this almost all airlines are increasing fleet strength. To sustain this growth, airlines need to employ you get blood in many areas of operations. These are invariably entry level jobs. But these metamorphose into big and sustainable jobs. With the passenger growth forecast, there is huge potential in entry level jobs in airlines.

Hello,
Aircraft Maintenance Engineer or "AME" are the people who maintain the aircraft by carrying out different maintenance activities on the aircraft and making sure that is safe for flying. There are basically two streams. One is mechanical and the other one is avionics. There are many training establishment in India that give this training. Here basic qualifications for entry is only 10+2 with PCM. Of course with more people desirous of joining these institutions, some of these have started taking entrance exam to admit students. One needs to take admissions here to become to be eligible to become AME. However, you are allowed to work on the aircraft only after DGCA gas issued license you. For this you have to give another examination. But AME institutions enable this. One can expect starting salary in the range if about Rs.6 L per annum.

Some of the best avionics colleges in India-
1. Hindustan UniversityChennai, Tamil Nadu
2. Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala
3. Shobhit University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh
4. Universtiy of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES) Dehradun, Uttarakhand
Some IITs also offer aeronautics course.
These are best in Avionics branch. IIST is best and ranked no. 1 among these institutes. The institute is home to Asia's pioneering Space Institute that offers a spectrum of graduate, postgraduate and advanced courses in space technology. The specialization of the department lies in preparing the students in space sciences. Placements, education and infrastructure are best in India. The faculty team of IIST is one of the best for Aeronautics, Physics, and Avionics and makes this institute stands out from the rest.

Air cargo handlers work at airports loading and unloading baggage. These workers require little education and usually receive on-the-job training. The outlook is for these jobs to grow slower than average. Air cargo handlers specialize in loading, staging, securing and unloading cargo and baggage on airplanes. To accurately perform their duties, they must calculate the aircraft's center of gravity and assess the quantity of cargo. Air cargo handlers work in all weather conditions and operate a variety of equipment, including trucks, forklifts, conveyors and baggage tugs.
Loaded cargo can include luggage, mail sacks, and animals. Training occurs on the job, so air cargo handlers only need to have a graduation/post-graduation from Aviation school. Other helpful assets include interpersonal, problem solving, organizational and communication skills. Air cargo handlers must be able to multitask in order to effectively and safely transport goods from one place to another. Experience driving a forklift proves to be beneficial in this position.

Airline jobs have always been glamorous, to begin with. Because of that a lot of people have been in awe of women, especially air hostesses working in the airlines. But sometimes, there can be a few unruly passengers who may create unnecessary trouble for the air hostesses.
But with more and more airlines coming up and air travel becoming cheaper and more and more people using air transport, the sight of air hostesses has become quite common and people as well have become more disciplined and cases of misdemeanor have gone down quite a bit. With at least one male cabin crew member becoming compulsory on all international flights, as alcohol is served on those flights, the risk of handling unruly passengers has further gone down.
The aviation industry, along with its thousands of SOPs in place and enough security measures being taken, is perhaps one of the safest industries for women to work for today!

With new technological advances, the way ticketing is done has changed drastically over the ages. As the aviation industry is booming and as more and more people have started using Air transport as a mean of communications, it has necessitated the need for more and more advanced software to make the task easier.
IATA has come up with a portion that one needs to understand, learn and clear its exam, in order to thoroughly know the ticket reservation systems such as Amadeus and Galileo. They have teamed up with hundreds of institutes all over India to carry out the required courses. Usually, a good institute would charge you 50k to 60k INR. There are cheaper options as well but it is recommended to go for the ones that would also give you some hands-on experience with the systems required.
Overall, the ticket reservation industry is a great career choice with so many international airlines having outsourced offices in India and offering thousands of jobs with benefits such as incentives and overtime.
