Improved Air India Booking and On-time Performance with 100 Co-pilot Hiring

The national carrier of India – Air India – is one of the largest service providers in the country. It operates a mixed fleet of 100 Airbus and Boeing models and serves over 90 domestic and international destinations. Most of its flights are operated and monitored from its primary and secondary hubs at Chhatrapati Shivaji and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and Chennai International Airports. This airline had its international hub at Frankfurt Airport, but is now planning to set up it up at Dubai International Airport. In addition to this, the carrier is under the process of introducing a number of other major changes at both; the managerial and operational level, in order to increase Air India booking. As per recent reports, it may hire around 100 Airbus co-pilots to improve its on-time performance.

800 Cabin Crew Members

Air India recently issued a notification to hire 800 cabin crew members to improve its operational efficiency. An internal report of the company mentioned shortage of pilots as well cabin crew that affected the on-time performance of the flights operated by this airline. Its impact was observed on Air India booking as well. In order to overcome this issue, the company is planning to recruit new resources, which includes 125 to 150 pilots. These pilots are being hired for the Airbus fleet owned by the company.

In addition to this, the carrier is also rolling out alluring offers to attract fliers. It recently announced a heavy discount on flights to Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bangalore and many other cities of the country to fill seats of its flights, scheduled to be operated in the lean season. As per industry experts, travellers do not plan a trip in the months of January, February and March, as not many big occasions are coincided in this period. Hence, carriers roll out such compelling offers in order to increase load factor in these times. It is expected that the impact of these changes and offers can be seen on Air India booking as well as performance of its flights.
