According to the officials, nearly 150 pilots are expected to complete their training by December 2016 and start flying on various routes.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are planning to have 700 more pilots in the next two to three years keeping in view the fleet expansion. From last August till now, we have already recruited 250 pilots. So about 500 more pilots we are going to recruit. Advertisement for 400 pilots has already been floated,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said AI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s General Manager (Operations), N Sivaramakirshnan.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We have plans to have cabin crew of 3,000 personnel. Beside the existing number, we are planning to take 1,500 more in the next two to three years,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said.<\/p>\n
He further added that in 2015, Air India had planned to hire about 200 trainee pilots. However, only 78 of those completed their training. Air India has about 858 pilots and the beleaguered airlines has lost around 100 pilots to other airlines since 2014.
