With the boom in the aviation industry, choosing to become an AME would be a good option with thousands of new job openings coming up with the growth of new regonal airlines under the UDAN scheme and also because of the rise of the budget airlines or the LCCs. A person has to have a minimum qualification of 0+2 with PCM subjects in order to undertake an AME course. There are two streams in AME, Avionics and Aircraft mechanics. One can choose what interests him the most and can go forward with it. With airlines like Indigo alone having more than 150 aircrafts with more than 600 on order, the demand for new AMEs is every increasing for the regular servicing and maintenance of these huge fleets of various airlines. The salary package usually depends on the airline one gets placed in and the starting package can be anywhere between 25k to 50k INR depending on the airline.
