Vistara, a full-service carrier that is in the process of merging with Air India, is planning to expand its operations by adding 10 aircraft and hiring over 1,000 employees in the current financial year. Vistara’s CEO, Vinod Kannan, revealed that the collapse of Go First has provided a pool of talent, particularly pilots and cabin crew members, from which Vistara has recruited extensively.
Kannan stated that the recruitment process involved careful consideration to ensure that the right individuals were chosen. Additionally, Vistara continues to attract fresh talent from the job market for cabin crew positions. The airline has already recruited approximately 50 pilots from Go First to strengthen its workforce.
