It is generally thought that the job of an airhostess is very glamorous and exciting, as it includes flying and travelling. However, becoming one means you need to be in the air and on your toes all the time. Broadly, jobs in this industry can be categorised into two groups: ground personnel and flight personnel. Aircraft maintenance engineering is still a low profile career, as flying is normally associated with being a pilot or an airhostess. The engineers ensure the smooth running of the aircraft.

In the process of luring more people to spend more on air travel, airline operators are not only going to increase their infrastructure but also trying to extend efficient quality service. This is likely to open up a variety of job opportunities for people eyeing this glamorous world of flying. There is a lot of scope for growth even for aircraft engineers, but with changing technologies you need to be up-to-date with the latest in your field.
