Career Prospects as pilot

In the recent years, airline industry has seen fierce competition. With the entry of many low cost airlines, the domestic market has suddenly expanded. According to the Federation of Indian Airlines, or FIA, the Indian aviation industry needs more than 4,500 to meet its demand. Furthermore, the attrition rate in the industry is very high. This adds to the rise in average salaries.

Average Salaries
Entry level salary of a commercial pilot in a private airline is about Rs 1.5 Lacs. In the recent times the salaries of commercial pilots have multiplied many times and a monthly salary of around Rs.2 Lac or even a higher figure of Rs 4 Lac does not surprise anymore. Midlevel salary could go up to Rs 5 Lacs per month.
Abroad Training
You can also go abroad for pilot training. You can explore foreign locations such as Australia, US, Malaysia and UK for pilot training. But going abroad for pilot training is comparatively expensive. The advantage is that, most of the flying academies in Australia, US, and UK have a shorter duration of course. You can expect to get a CPL in 6-12 months rather than almost 2 years that it takes in India.
