Air India makes another voluntary retirement offer for non-flying staff

Air India has announced a second round of voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) for its permanent general cadre employees, and clerical and unskilled staff. Eligible members for the offer will be those who have completed minimum five years of continuous service and are aged above 40 years.

At present, Air India has around 11,000 employees including its flying and non-flying staff. Out of these, 2,100 of them would be eligible to apply for the voluntary retirement offer. The Tata group took over Air India last January. In June, 2022, the airline had announced its first phase of voluntary retirement covering cabin crew, clerical and unskilled categories.
