Yesterday, I have attended a conference at Aviation Expo 2008 about HR issues faced by Aviation Industry. Eminent speaker s from across the globe was present and everyone had only one concern – Shortage of Pilots in India. Representatives from various Aviation Schools around the world demonstrated how they are different in training pilots and how they can add value to the entire program.
On the other hand India’s national airline Air India has excess pilots which is adding into losses. If they really have excess pilots, then why don’t they pool their resources with other airlines?

However, interesting point to note here is no one thought about people required at ground level. Civil Aviation Ministry wants to develop 500 airports in India in next 10 years but who will manage these airports at ground level? One Airport requires minimum 500 staff to manage services like Airport Cleaning, Baggage Handling, Baggage Loaders and Safety Escorts among others.
We at TravelVidya have taken the initiative to train people for ground handling and very soon will come up with blueprint for the same. Is anyone interested to join hands with us, please write to Jeevika@travelvidya.com.
