Airlines on hiring spree after 2 rough years

Mumbai: The aviation job market is booming. Job advertisements are flying thick and fast in the industry. Pilots, cabin crew, ground staff are back in demand.
Hirings began slowly in February after two years of slowdown and job losses. Now, it has gained full speed.
Consider this:
* Air India has advertised for 40 pilots
* Its low-cost arm, Air India Express, for 63 cabin crew posts
* Spice Jet needs 30 pilots and about 75 cabin crew
* Indigo needs 70 pilots and about 175 cabin crew
* Go-Air, that has recently inducted 21 pilots, will hire 10 more and about 74 cabin crew members
* Jet Airways and Kingfisher are hiring staff across the spectrum
By considering to allow foreign airlines to invest in local carriers, the government has sent out a strong signal of support to the aviation industry.
