Indian carriers, which currently have approximately 800 planes in their fleet, are projected to add about 600 planes in the next five years, Civil Aviation Secretary Vumlunmang Vualnam said here on Thursday.
"India's aviation infrastructure has expanded exponentially, with the number of airports more than doubling from 74 to 157 over the past decade. Passenger numbers have surged from 110 million to 220 million annually, and the aircraft fleet has grown from 400 to 800, with projections to reach 1,400 within five years," he stated in his speech during 'Women in Aviation India Awards 2024'.
"This growth signals abundant career opportunities in aviation for women and underscores their essential role in the industry's future," Vualnam added.
According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), India has 803 commercial aircraft right now. While 72 per cent of these planes are from European planemaker Airbus, about 22 per cent are from US-based aircraftmaker Boeing.
