The demand of aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs) is significantly increasing year by year as the growth of aviation industry is rapidly growing worldwide. The regulatory bodies have to ensure adequate training is provided to the prospective AMEs and licensed timely. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) stipulates the framework for its member states in regards to the civil aviation which includes AME’s and Air Crew’s licensing and further guides the states for mutual acceptance of licenses of member states. Still, it is found that the acceptance of Indian AME license holders by other regulatory bodies like FAA and EASA is found challenging due to lack of harmonization of licensing procedures, soft skills, and practical experiences. This paper aims to identify the challenges and the feasibility of Indian AMEs in the international aviation industry by analyzing the regulations stipulated by the ICAO and other prominent states. Based on the study, an economical solution is recommended that complies with international regulations and DGCA requirements.
