I.I.A., an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Training Institute, approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Govt. of India, was born at Patna in the year 1982.

It was very humble start with only 10 employees. But over the years, covering more than two decades, it has grown into a cluster of 7 AME training institutions, all over India, centrally controlled and administered by I.I.A. Delhi.

The organisation has earned high recognisation by the Aviation authorities and the senior officials of Air line operators and approved maintenance organisations, for its outstanding performance and consistent academic excellence.

To assist in strengthening the functionality, the Institute has setup an alumni office at Indian Institute of Aeronautics 18/55, Punjabi Bagh (West), New Delhi – 110 026. The Alumni Office offers alumni the chance to keep up with the happenings at the institute. The Alumni Office also helps alumni to maintain contact with other alumni.

To provide a forum of all the alumni of the institute for mutual interaction and the benefit of its mater. To enable the alumni to take part in facilitating the institute to promote very position & interactive relation between the institute & alumni. To promote with the help of its alumni a regular interface with the industry for achieving the intended objective of making the higher education meaningful. To help the alumni to get information from the institute on various issues that they may come across in their professional assignments.

Over the years, the only proven means for the alumni to keep in touch with each other have been the personal letter and the telephone. It does not appear that the great advances made in Information Technology have provided a better mechanism. Yet, there is a feeling that the wonders of email and the internet might indeed offer good opportunities for greater interaction between the alumni batch mates.
Alumni are the voice of an institution. Their achievement reflects the success & performance of the institution. Though IIA has grown for more than 25 years, yet we could not finalize a complete list of our alumni because of various problems like – frequent changes of jobs due to heavy demand of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineers. The list of the alumni mentioned here are merely indicative. As, till date quite a large no. of students have come out from the Institute holding highly responsible post and working successfully in various Airlines/Aviation Industries but are not included in the present list, due to non-availability of their current position. We are continuously updating the list and hope that in very short time we will be able to complete the same.
