Western India Institute of Aeronautics Pvt. Ltd. - WIIA

ABOUT US

WIIA was established in the year 2004 by Dr Nagesh Bhandari with necessary approvals from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India, in Hansol, Ahmedabad, near Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. Since then, WIIA has evolved from a regional leader to a national leader in supplying AME professionals to the industry.

With a vision of being ‘Atma-nirbhar’ much before the Government of India had officially declared a national move. Dr Bhandari had envisioned the crucial importance of the aviation industry that it brings to today’s world and the value it adds to the national economy.

An airline spends about 12%-15% of its revenue on the maintenance, repair and overhaul of an aircraft, which is a major cost apart from the fuel. Indian carriers used to take MRO services from outside of India up to the year 2011 due to the lack of well-trained professionals and poor infrastructure.

Today the Indian carriers can take their MRO services in India, and the MRO sector is about USD 1.7 billion because of the vision and contribution of passionate personas like Dr Nagesh Bhandari, who had the leading support of Dr Ritu Bhandari.

The aviation industry in India pre-covid supported its GDP by about USD 35 billion and is expected to grow by 262% in the next 20 years. In the Indian aviation industry, with its new policies such as cuts in the GST from 18% to 5% in the MRO(Maintenace Repair and Overhaul) services, the government has increased the number of airports from 72 to 136 and has a target of 220, UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) i.e let the common citizen of the country fly; which will serve unserved and underserved areas and this will improve connectivity amongst all regions.
