The aviation sector is one of the India's strongest-performing industries. More than 70 airports have been built over the past decade, and the country counts over 400 million air passengers annually. In just ten years, India has become the world's third-largest aviation market, behind China and the United States. The boom has attracted foreign investment and major aerospace companies such as Airbus, whose aircraft make up over 70% of the country's domestic fleet. But to meet demand, India will also need to train a large number of pilots – about 35,000 by 2035.
