TECHNOLOGY VISION 2035

5.5 ANS TECHNOLOGIES/INFRASTRUCTURE

CHALLENGES Airspace congestion, growing demand for air transport.
& TARGETS
Huge investment required in ANS infrastructure.

KEY Airports Authority of India (AAI), IT Industry
STAKEHOLDER(S)

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
• ANS technologies to be adopted in line with global and regional plans for up-gradation and
harmonization of ANS infrastructure in the region.
• India with a very large and high growth aviation market should take a leadership role in
implementation of latest ANS technologies in this region.
• Government funding through budgetary support and/or soft loans be provided for deployment of
ANS technologies.
• A long term plan for development/deployment of ANS technology modules must be prepared and
shared with Indian software and aerospace industry by Airports Authority of India (AAI) . This will
provide an opportunity for Indian technology companies to develop capabilities and products in this
area.

5.6 HUMAN RESOURCE- SKILL DEVELOPMENT
CHALLENGES Shortage of the required skill sets is the single most critical challenge
& TARGETS for the industry. To create a large pool of skilled workforce across the
value chain of the aviation industry

KEY Government, Academic & Training institutions and Industry
STAKEHOLDER(S)

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

• Scaling up the capacityof existing academic institutions with specialized industry engineering
courses.
• Scaling up training capacity for Pilots, Air traffic controllers (ATC), Aircraft maintenance engineers
(AME), and other professionals for the air transport industry, and streamlining the certification/
licensing process.
• Focus on vocational education in schools, followed by industry apprentice programmes.
• Specialized industrial training institutes (ITIs) to be established in the manufacturing clusters under
PPP.
• Government support for training/apprentice programmes of individual companies to ensure that
the relevant skills are created.

• Migration of skilled labour from auto ancillary sector to aerospace could be also considered in the
short term, which is otherwise also normal in the course of labour market churn.
• Training and skill up gradation could be considered under the offset contracts in a limited way for
certain specialized skills so as to quickly ramp-up.
