Air India and Vistara, both part of the Tata Group, as well as IndiGo Airlines are hiring in various roles. This hiring comes amid Go First’s cash crunch that could possibly impact 17,000 direct and indirect jobs.
Air India is hiring for captains and co-pilots in multiple cities. It said in its hiring advertisement that it is looking for co-pilots with “A320 endorsement”. Go First’s fleet comprises completely of A320 neo jets, half of which were grounded due to Pratt & Whitney’s faulty engines, as per the airline. Vistara is also looking for A320 neo jet pilots.
As per its application at NCLT, the employability of 7,000 direct and 10,000 indirect employees could be impacted with the outcome of Go First’s crisis and eventual plea for insolvency proceedings.
