Pilot Job Opportunities Abroad | Indian Pilots | CPL

Episode 24:
Most Indian students look to go abroad for their flight training so as to fast track their training. There would be various packages offered by aviation academies and consultants. Proper research should be done before taking a decision.
Check this video out to know the best country for flight training: • Best Country for Fligh...
As a pilot, working abroad is difficult upon completing your CPL.
These are the three points to keep in mind with regards to working abroad:
1) Completing your CFI course and then working as an instructor; best way to build your hours and experience
2) Opportunities to work with small charter companies and jobs might not be related to that of an airline pilot.
3) Securing a PR or citizenship
Do be careful of lucrative packages and schemes offered by companies. Take due care before taking a decision for the same.

[@gaurisanise6162]

[@flyingpiyush9133]

As a Captain we can get into a foreign country then?

[@abhinandr5924]

Is it easy to find FI jobs in Europe for Indians?

[@flywithgaurav163]

Thank you for this very useful video. It cleared a huge doubt for me 😊 I would love to see a video about your strategy to approach dgca exams including technical exam as well. Thanks and regards from VIDP

[@theindiancaptains]

Your welcome Gaurav ! Sure we will make one soon👍

[@jujharsingh8480]

​​@@theindiancaptains it's you're welcome. just a correction. no offence 😊

[@engineerflying]

where do you work

[@ananyachhabra9325]

If we are given a chance to be an instructor there then can we get our job in abroad as then the working hours willl also increase?

[@theindiancaptains]

It all depends Ananya, some schools will give you a part time job. Meaning to say not on work visa. Very related to the flight school

[@vibhutisaini4493]

i have a question,! can i get a pilot job in usa if i do my flying training from usa and work as a pilot in india to build hours?

[@theindiancaptains]

Opportunities are mainly for experienced pilots. As a fresher working in the airline is tough as they don't give work visa so easily

[@praneethkumar6316]

Hai bro I which country you are doing CPL,are you working as instructor if so what is the salary of fresh flight instructor in SOUTH AFRICA.

[@theindiancaptains]

We did it from USA. No idea about the salary in South Africa

[@thevision658]

So i have done cpl in india and i am going to do atpl in dubai, so my question is will i be then eligible for pilot in dubai after getting my citizenship of uae.

[@theindiancaptains]

If you get citizenship. Yes you can depending upon the requirement

[@LordBagdanoff]

New Zealand would be a good option

[@gamerepublic7448]

Can we get into british airlines such as british airways or easyjet if we do our cpl from here in india, and is it possible to convert our DGCA cpl to CAA cpl for a job in united kingdom???

[@pilotadmu2987]

Unfortunately, to get a pilot job in the UK you may need the right to work and live there. Meaning Citizenship or ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) which both require one to legally reside for 5 years or more. Rather interestingly I am a US citizen who also wants to work there as a pilot at some point but can't do due to the the reasons mentioned above. You can still convert the license but just won't be able to get a job unfortunately.

[@theindiancaptains]

You can convert your license, however getting a job is unlikely for freshers. As they prefer hiring captains with experience.

[@taera7075]

Can I become a pilot in korea ...and will i get job after doing cpl in south korea plzzz tell me sir...i am confused

[@theindiancaptains]

HI Taera. You definitely can. Not sure about the market Korea. You will have to do your research. The preferred countries for Indian students are America, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Australia

[@dhatrisreemanyala3626]

Actually I'm planning to do pilot training in usa . After taking pilot training usa can I become pilot in usa means can indian have opportunities . Are there any indian pilots in usa

[@theindiancaptains]

As a instructor yes. Working in the Airlines is slightly tough

[@ritesharohan4448]

Hay buddy it was an amazing video and your way of presentation was marvellous. I got few questions, 1. What if I work for around 5 to 6 years in India and become captain and then I decide to switch to foreign country. What do you think about the challenges I had to go through? 2. Also I want to know more about the PR and which are the airlines & country who are little flexible giving jobs to Indian (international pilot) ?

[@theindiancaptains]

Thanks Ritesh ! 1) In that case you will get many opportunities as you would be experienced. The Airlines will also take care of your conversion process. 2) Gulf is the most sort after for experienced indian pilots. Other countries the strict employment rules can be a challenge for visa related issues.

[@ritesharohan4448]

Yeah even i heard that answer from few, Okay so I'm a Cadet of Spicejet, and going through my ground classes for upcoming dgca exam. I got a long way to go. My flying will be done in usa and followed by conversion to Indian license. But you know what, I had this ambition to settle abroad and since I have many relatives living in usa- its my first priority. Even though I didn't heard any Indian pilot working in us airlines, im sure this path hardly anybody takes it due to the complications involved. Incase if you could gather more information regarding this issue, it would be really helpful to me or you can just connect me to someone who went through situations like mine.

[@alex47_in_downtown18]

@@ritesharohan4448 US airlines prefer citizens/PR & u usually don't get H1-B visa over a vocational course...so better do a parallel Bachelor degree(distance) while gaining 1500-3000hrs airline experience in India & then apply for US airlines...they would for sure consider u if there's a pilot shortage.

[@veerenderreddy6771]

Sir I have Keratoconus both eyes can eligible for become a pilot

[@theindiancaptains]

You will need to check with the doctor empanelled with DGCA

[@theindiancaptains]

Difficult. Work permit or PR is needed

@@theindiancaptains suppose the countries for eg are france,Norway, Germany or England so can we get into one airline based on the above countries through Cadet Pilot Program

Yes you need to give the respective tests. Easa wants you to complete 14 papers for their ATPL.
