In reference to Air India’s improvement efforts, Chandrasekaran stated that significant changes are taking place in several areas. For example, the airline is completely overhauling its human resources, upgrading its technology, and improving its engineering and ground handling operations. Additionally, the entire fleet will be replaced as Air India has placed one of the largest aircraft orders to date. The Tata Sons chief further described this decision as a bold move for the airline.

In the meantime, as part of its fleet and network expansion plans, Air India will recruit over 1,000 pilots, including trainers and captains. The airline currently has a pilot workforce of over 1,800. Air India has ordered 470 aircraft, including wide-body planes, from Boeing and Airbus to support its growth strategy.

On the other front, Air India pilots have expressed concerns regarding the airline’s recent announcement about restructuring their salary framework and service terms.
