Mumbai: The Indian aviation sector is cruising through a strange dichotomy. On the one hand, there is a serious shortage of trained and experienced pilots; and on the other, is a long roster of licensed but inadequately skilled pilots, many of whom have even jettisoned their dreams to fly to take up ground staff duties at airports, said several people directly connected with the aviation sector.
Many a time domestic flight training academies are not able to meet the demand for experienced and type-rated pilots for the new batches of aircraft that aviation companies have requisitioned in the recent years, said industry experts.
