Worldwide, airlines carry more than 3 billion passengers a year and deliver about one-third of traded goods by value. Aviation-sector employment also is seen as strong. Airlines employ about 2.5 million workers and expect “to accelerate the pace of hiring over the next year”.

India is expected to become the second-largest aviation market and is expected to be the largest by 2030.

The aviation industry directly provides millions of jobs for people around the world, with examples including everything from pilots and cabin crew, through to air traffic controllers and aerospace engineers. On top of this, the aviation industry has helped to create many jobs in the wider travel and tourism industry too.
