The AME plays a vital role in the aviation industry to ensure that aircraft are maintained to the highest standards, as laid down by the DGCA. In the course of their duties, AMEs are responsible for service and maintenance of the aircraft which includes repairs, replacements, overhaul, and inspection of the aircraft, aircraft components and other related items of equipment.
The aviation and airline industry in India is expected to continue to grow rapidly; and also the number of modern aircraft flying in India is expected to increase. India is likely to emerge as the third largest aviation market in the next few years. As a direct result, the need for more AMEs will continue to be felt even more strongly, as airlines and other aircraft operators will require skilled and licensed engineers to maintain and service aircraft.
