Question: Is this the correct time to go for CPL because Aviation Industry is completely down. Or is this best to do it from other countries. Kindly suggest whether is it worth to spend 25 Lacs at this point of time. Thanks
Answer: The slow down in Indian Aviation industry is just a temporary phenomenon. The International Air Transport Association (IATA), in its latest estimates, reckons India will be the driving force behind the world's civil aviation business that is globally expected to grow from $5.1 billion to $5.6 billion this year.

The current market size of the international air traffic in India is nearly $5 billion (Rs.21,000). Industry insiders forecast that it is expected to grow phenomenally, creating a huge need for skilled manpower.

And if you really want to do it, you can get the CPL from some Indian Flying School which would cost you around Rs 13 lakh to Rs 14 lakh. If there is problem of finance then even loans are provided by various banks for it.

Hope that helps
