Air India revises salaries, designations of non-flying India staff

Air India on Friday revised salaries and designations of its non-flying staff based in India to bring them in alignment with the ‘market standards’ and ‘promote efficiency’ within the airline.

The carrier has a total of about 16,000 employees: 7,000 are non-flying staff while 9,000 are flying staff such as pilots and cabin crew members. The company had revised the salary structure for flying staff in April.

The airline’s chief executive officer (CEO)and managing director (MD) Campbell Wilson said on Friday: “The new grades and designations have been arrived at after a comprehensive formal job evaluation to assess the size and complexity of each role, which have then been benchmarked against external companies so that the grade and associated compensation is aligned with market standards.”
