Since India’s economy opened itself to the rest of the world in the early 1990s the middle class was exposed, possibly for the first time to job opportunities beyond the ones offered by the government.
Technology is at the forefront of every industry today. And, the aviation industry is no exception! New technologies enable us to do things differently in a more efficient, personalized and customer-centric manner.
