In the midst of the Go First pilot exodus, Air India has received applications from 700 pilots to join the Maharaja.
According to a report by Times Of India, the airline has been conducting walk-in interviews all over India over the past few months as it has developed ambitious expansion plans. While Air India and IndiGo were searching for pilots just a few months ago, they now have an abundance of applications.
Nearly 740 of Go First’s pilots fly the Airbus A320 family of aircraft, and they are currently looking for work as lessors are lining up to reclaim aircraft and the airline’s future is uncertain.
