career opportunities for students in the aviation industry related to such international routes:

1. pilots: The launch of new international routes often means a need for more pilots. If you aspire to become a pilot, this can be an excellent opportunity to pursue a career in aviation. You would need to undergo extensive flight training and obtain the necessary licenses and certifications.

2. cabin crew: International routes typically require a larger cabin crew workforce. Working as a flight attendant for an airline like IndiGo can be a rewarding career. You'll need to attend cabin crew training programs to become qualified.

3. ground staff: airlines also require ground staff at airports to handle various tasks such as check-in, baggage handling, customer service, and more. This is an entry-level position that can lead to various career paths within the aviation industry.

4. aircraft maintenance engineers: With more flights, there is a higher demand for aircraft maintenance personnel. Pursuing a degree or certification in aircraft maintenance engineering can lead to opportunities in this field.

5. Air Traffic Controllers: The launch of new routes can increase air traffic, which, in turn, requires more air traffic controllers to ensure safe and efficient operations at airports. Becoming an air traffic controller often requires specialized training and education.

6. airport management and Operations: Airports need managers and operations staff to oversee the efficient functioning of their facilities. Pursuing a degree in airport management or a related field can open up opportunities in this area.

7. Hospitality and Tourism: The launch of international flights can boost tourism in the cities served by these flights. Students interested in the hospitality and tourism industry can explore opportunities in hotels, travel agencies, and related sectors.

8. International Relations and Foreign Languages: Given the international nature of aviation, having proficiency in foreign languages and a background in international relations can be valuable, especially if you're interested in roles related to diplomacy, international marketing, or cross-cultural communication.
