Fresh Aircraft Maintenance Engineers in India start earning between ₹3 lakh to ₹6 lakh annually. The salary of an AME depends heavily on their B1 or B2 license type along with the recruiting organization and their aviation work experience. AMEs starting their careers in smaller airlines or MRO organizations receive lower packages than those hired by major airlines including IndiGo and Vistara and Air India.
The experience brings higher pay benefits to AMEs who earn between ₹10 to ₹15 lakh annually as senior professionals. Higher earnings are obtainable through international positions. The aviation industry expansion in India generates rising demand for aerospace maintenance engineers which creates better opportunities for improved pay and professional growth. The acquisition of professional aviation certifications issued by EASA or DGCA will increase earning potential and employment possibilities in national and international aircraft maintenance.
