Shortage of Pilots in Air Force

Posted On: 17 JUL 2019 3:33PM by PIB Delhi

Adequate number of following aircrafts are being used for imparting training to Indian Air Force (IAF) pilots:

  • Basic Trainer Aircraft;
  • Intermediate Jet Trainer; and
  • Advance Jet Trainer

 

The available strength of pilots in the IAF is sufficient to meet the current operational requirements.

Every year, the IAF participates in a number of career fairs/exhibitions, releases advertisements in newspapers/television and conducts numerous lectures in schools and colleges to motivate the target group.

This information was given by Raksha Rajya Mantri Shri Shripad Naik in a written reply to Shri Ramcharan Bohra in Lok Sabha today.
