Air India’s Growth Plan: Recruitment of Cabin Crew and Pilots to Bolster Workforce
Air India, one of India’s leading airlines and a member of Star Alliance, is embarking on an ambitious growth plan that will see the airline hiring over 4,200 cabin crew and 900 pilots in 2023. The move comes on the heels of Air India’s order for 470 aircraft from Boeing and Airbus to support its expansion plans.
Already, the airline has taken on board over 1,900 cabin crew and 285 pilots between April 2022 and February 2023, and this number is set to rise significantly over the next year. With this recruitment drive, Air India is looking to bolster its workforce and continue providing the best possible service to its passengers.
Expanding Fleet
Air India has leased 36 aircraft, including two B777-200LRs, and is expected to add more planes to its fleet in the near future. The recruitment of additional cabin crew and pilots is critical to support the airline’s growth plans and increase its operational efficiency.
Cabin Crew Recruitment
Air India will be recruiting cabin crew from all over India, who will undergo a 15-week training program. The program will equip them with the skills they need to provide excellent service and maintain high levels of safety. The training will also instil the best of Indian hospitality and Tata group culture. Classroom and in-flight training will take place at the airline’s training facility in Mumbai, along with familiarization flights.
In the past seven months, Air India has already hired over 1,900 cabin crew, with over 1,100 cabin crew being trained during this period. In the past three months, approximately 500 cabin crew have been released for flying by airline.
According to Sandeep Verma, Head of Inflight Services, “Cabin crew will play a decisive role in shaping the present and future of the Air India group. With more flights on international and domestic networks, and re-alignment of domestic routes with AIX connect, the addition of fresh talent will accelerate the pace of cultural transformation at Air India, which is an integral part of our Vihaan.AI transformation program.”
Pilot Recruitment
Air India is also looking to hire more pilots and maintenance engineers to support its growth plans. If you are interested in pursuing a career as a Pilot or Cabin Crew at Air India, you can apply at pilotcareers@airindia.com and cabincrewcareers@airindia.com, respectively.
