A looming pilot crisis
16-12-2024
Pragya Priyadarshini, Vice President, Primus Partners, shares her view on the growing challenges in the aviation sector. With airlines rapidly expanding their fleets and the country struggling to produce pilots fast enough to meet rising demand, Indian carriers could face a pilot shortage. She emphasizes the need for airlines to collaborate with educational institutions to make pilot training more accessible through sponsorships and scholarships. The urgency of such measures is evident, as November 17 saw a record-breaking 500,000 domestic passengers flying across India in a single day.
