Jet Airways employees take note! SpiceJet, IndiGo are looking for pilots, managers, cabin crew; check details

In good news to thousands of Jet Airways employees left jobless after the airline shut down its operations in April, rival airlines like SpiceJet and IndiGo are looking to hire eligible candidates for several roles, including pilots, managers, cabin crews among others. SpiceJet alone has decided to hire over 2,000 Jet employees. These employees include pilots, cabin crew and those from airport services and security. The no-frills carrier, as part its expansion programme, has also bought around 22 Jet Airways planes so far.

As per SpiceJet CEO and MD Ajay Singh, the company had recently hired many well-qualified ad professionals. "We will continue to take more Jet staff in the times to come," he told PTI in an interview, adding the company had hired around 1,100 professionals and planned to appoint 900 more. The crisis in Jet Airways has left space for rival airlines like SpiceJet and IndiGo to grab the opportunity. SpiceJet is the third airline -- excluding now-defunct Jet -- to have a fleet of over 100 aircraft after Air India and IndiGo.

In a recent notification, the airline has also invited applications for ground staff (airport services and aviation security). The minimum qualification for the post is a graduation, and the applicant's age should be between 18 and 27 years. As per the eligibility criteria, both experienced and freshers can apply for these posts. Those interested in ground staff job can walk into Indian Aviation Academy (NIAMAR Society) in New Delhi on June 4. Here's more information related to these vacancies in SpiceJet.
