The Indian government has informed Parliament that the country currently has 25,001 active pilots, reflecting continued expansion in the aviation workforce.
The data was shared as part of an official response in Parliament, highlighting the growing scale of India’s aviation sector. With airlines expanding fleets and adding new routes, the demand for trained flight crew has increased significantly in recent years.
India remains one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets, supported by rising passenger traffic, new aircraft inductions, and airport infrastructure development. A larger pool of licensed and active pilots is essential to sustain this growth.
The update underscores the importance of pilot training, regulatory oversight, and workforce planning as the country continues to strengthen its position in global aviation.
