The Times of India reported on November 15 that the Indian Civil Aviation Minister said over a thousand civil aircraft are waiting for delivery and the pilot workforce in India needs to be expanded urgently. On 15th, Indian Civil Aviation Minister Naidu (K Ram Mohan Naidu) stated that India currently has ordered 1700 civil aircraft from Boeing and Airbus, which are pending delivery. Each aircraft corresponds to 10 to 15 pilots, meaning that India will need to train 25,000 to 30,000 pilots in the future. However, the current system of flight training institutions in India can only produce a limited number of pilots, which is insufficient to meet future demand. Moreover, many pilots in the existing pilot workforce are inactive. To address this, Naidu emphasized the need to expand training capabilities to meet future human resource needs. Regarding air cargo, Naidu stated that they are studying the model of dedicated cargo airports to promote cost reduction and efficiency improvement in air cargo. In addition, Naidu also mentioned that India's aerospace manufacturing industry has made remarkable achievements, with the total output value of related industries reaching 2 billion US dollars, aiming to double it by 2030.
