Air India graduates its maiden batch of cabin crew trainees, pilots

The Tata Group-owned Air India’s first batch of cabin crew and pilots have graduated.

The batch of 215 cabin crew and 48 pilots, all Indian nationals, received their wings following extensive training, and are now cleared to operate as fully-qualified crew.

Selected from more than 13,000 candidates from around the country, the cabin crew trainees passed through a 15-week programme imparting safety and service skills, and were coached to exemplify the best of Indian hospitality and Tata group culture.

The training program included extensive classroom and in-flight training at the airline’s training facility in Mumbai as well as familiarisation flights.
