Question
I am electronics and communication student in India.I want to know the opportunities in the aviation field.

Answer
Hi,

The opportunities to work in the aviation field are many and varied depending on the nation in which you live.  Probably of interest to you would be the growing airlines in India including Spice Jet, Kingfisher and the rest.....they are ordering new aircraft in anticipation of even more growth in the future.  So, I would expect that the Airlines in India will be expanding in the near future....that  should mean quite a number of new jobs such as customer service manager, marketing manager, pilot, mechanic and flight attendant.

I wish you the best as you explore your options in aviation.
