Air India’s latest deal last week with Airbus and Boeing is just not a landmark moment for job creation in the US and UK, it is a great opportunity for job creation in the India market as well. The industry currently employs over 2.5 lakh employees and it is expected that the demand for both tech and non-tech talent to rise by 10-15% owing to the manpower needed to operate on a large scale.

“This deal will directly impact the Indian talent industry by creating tremendous employment opportunities across various domains. We expect at least 10000 new jobs in both tech and non-tech roles to be created in the aviation sector in the next 2 years in the country. The aviation industry generates multiple jobs each year, whether it lies within the industry or through aviation’s supply chain,” said Sachin Alug, CEO, NLB Services

India currently has 141 operational airports and the Government of India is expected to invest $1.83 bn in the development of airport infrastructure to build nearly 60 more airports by 2026. All these developments together are expected to boost the overall sector, enabling India to cement its positioning as one of the top three aviation markets in the world.

Industry reports suggest that the country will require around 2,210 new aircrafts in the next two decades and also pegged annual domestic air traffic growth to be nearly 7 per cent through 2041.
