The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) B1.1 Stream is a license-based program approved by DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation India). It specializes in maintenance of turbine engine (jet) aircraft covering aircraft structure engines fuel/hydraulic systems and more. After completing the required course (around 2400 hours), theory + practical training, and passing DGCA exams, you become a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer who can inspect, service, repair and certify aircraft before flights.
With an AME B1.1 license you are qualified to work in many aviation-related settings:
Domestic and international airlines - as a maintenance engineer ensuring aircraft safety before take-off.
Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organisations, aircraft manufacturing companies, or maintenance divisions of global carriers.
Roles like Line Maintenance Engineer (checks between flights), Base Maintenance Engineer (heavy maintenance), Powerplant/Engine Technician, or Quality/Release certification staff.
This makes AME B1.1 a direct entry path to working in airlines or MROs.
Because AME B1.1 covers maintenance of turbine-powered aircraft (common in global civil aviation), your skills are relevant internationally.
Many international airlines, aircraft manufacturers, or MRO companies hire licensed AMEs to maintain their fleets especially in regions like Gulf countries, Southeast Asia, Europe, where jet aircraft are standard.
In short: yes with AME B1.1 license (and required experience), you can work in airlines in India and abroad.
It gives a globally relevant qualification: turbine engine aircraft maintenance which is universal.
It allows you to do certification of release to service - a legal requirement before any aircraft can fly. So licensed AMEs are essential for airlines everywhere.
As aviation expands globally, demand for licensed maintenance engineers is high making your license valuable internationally.
Yes once you complete the AME B1.1 stream and get your DGCA approved license, you are qualified to work in airlines, MROs aircraft manufacturing firms, and more. Your license is relevant not just in India but also abroad. With proper experience and possibly additional international certification (if needed by employer), you can certainly build a global aviation career.
