Aviation Industry-An Overview

Aviation industry was one of the hardest hit in the aftermath of terrorist strikes in USA on Sept 11 2001 forcing the closure of many a reputed airline likes of Swiss Air and American airlines

Aviation Industry of India could withstand these hard times commendable, even though the industry was minute it could withstand this pressure and had grown leaps and bounds mainly due to the growth of Indian economy and tourism industry in particular in the last few years. It may be noted that in the last two years in Indian Aviation many a new airlines have come to the fore in a huge way and many huge industries have declared their wishes to enter into this industry.   Another major leap was the open sky policy of Government of India permitting the existing private airlines in India to fly to foreign destinations. It does require a special mention that with such expansions planned by major aviation companies and new companies formed there is a vast manpower requirement. Qualified manpower is in huge abundance in India but they need a proper direction to capitalise on this surge in aviation industry. When the human resources needed by these companies were less in number, it was easy to tap from a huge HR bank but when the demand for such HR increased they are finding it extremely difficult to maintain the quality of HR selected for these jobs especially when more and more foreign airlines are flying into India offering high salary packages forcing the better of HR to go with these companies.

It is important to mention here that Indian aviation industry grew by 20% second only to BPO industry in services sector and then comes the concept of no frills airline the market for which is growing vastly. Many no frills airline have already announced their plans to start services to India a few of them are Nok Air, Air Asia-Thailand, Air Arabia etc.
