MUMBAI: Several pilots made their way to a five-star hotel in Mumbai’s western suburb last Friday, where India’s biggest airline, IndiGo, held a recruitment drive for senior pilots, according to two pilots who attended the event.
The event also saw a large representation from cash-strapped Jet Airways (India) Ltd where senior workers are facing a prolonged delay in salaries and an uncertain future.
IndiGo, one of Airbus SE’s largest customers globally, will soon start its maiden flight to Europe (Istanbul). It is also expanding fast, adding at least one aircraft per week, and is therefore in need of senior pilots.
