Air India Express And AirAsia India Recruit 800 Trainee Cabin Crew And 280 Pilots In A Year

Tata Group-owned airlines, Air India Express and AirAsia India, have recruited approximately 800 trainee cabin crew personnel within the past year.

In addition, Air India Express, the worldwide budget subsidiary of Air India, has added approximately 280 pilots in the year beginning June 2022.

The induction process, which began in June of last year, drew a broad pool of candidates through collaborative walk-in recruitment drives held in major metro cities and small towns, according to a release issued by Air India Express on Thursday.

Tata Group purchased Air India, Air India Express, and a 50% share in ground handling firm Air India SATS Airport Services Pvt Ltd (AISATS) last year. The Group presently fully owns three airlines: Air India, Air India Express, and AirAsia India, and also controls 51% of Vistara, a joint venture airline with Singapore Airlines that is also being integrated into Air India.

The ongoing process of merging AirAsia India with Air India Express has reached a significant milestone with the large-scale recruitment, according to a release. After undergoing a selection process, a considerable number of trainees have participated in comprehensive training at Air India Express' Mumbai facility.

This training leverages the combined expertise of both airlines, ensuring a robust and well-prepared workforce for the merged entity.
