Boeing India President Salil Gupte, during the sidelines of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) event, said that India may require 31,000 pilots and 26,000 mechanics in the next twenty years.

“India is going to need over 31,000 pilots and 26,000 mechanics over the next 20 years to take care of the aircraft coming in. This is as important a part of the Indian growth story as the aircraft,” said Gupte.

Boeing in its 2022-2041 Pilot and Technician Outlook forecasts that South Asia, of which India is the largest country, will demand 37,000 pilots and 34,000 technicians in the next twenty years.
