Air India offers to re-hire pilots post retirement for 5 years

Tata Group-owned Air India has offered to re-hire pilots post their retirement for a five-year period as the airline looks for stability in operations amid talk of acquiring 300 single-aisle planes, according to an internal communication.

Air India is considering re-hiring these pilots as commanders, it said.

A senior official said the airline has sought the consent of retired pilots for such a job.

The communication has been sent to the pilots who retired up to three years back, the official said.
