The new year is about to bring new changes for the aviation industry, one of the sectors most affected by the impact of Covid. On the one hand, Akasa Air, an investment of veteran investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, is about to fly. Jet Airways 2.0, on the other hand, is about to return in a new avatar. In such a situation, there is news of intensification of recruitment activities by both the airlines. According to a report, other employees including pilots can be hired.
There are about 17000 pilots in the country now.
For the first time in a decade and a half, the aviation industry is witnessing a boom and the demand for pilots is expected to increase. There are about 17000 pilots in India. The starting salary of a pilot ranges from Rs 80,000 to Rs 1.2 lakh per month and can go up to Rs 6 lakh. However, there is no clarity on how many planes Jet and Aasa will start operations with.
