Working as an AME with an airline
Airlines are among the largest employers of aircraft maintenance engineers. Before every flight, a licensed and authorised engineer must inspect the aircraft, rectify defects and sign the certificate of release to service.
Airline engineers work at main bases and at outstation airports, covering line maintenance, and many airlines also run hangar maintenance or work with partner MROs.
Indian airlines such as Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet and Air Asia have built large fleets, which keeps the need for trained engineers strong.
Typical roles for AMEs in airlines
Technician / trainee
Entry roles working under supervision.
Certifying engineer
Licensed and authorised staff who release aircraft.
Shift lead
Coordinates the team and work on a shift.
Technical services
