Under the new structure, salaries will be hiked for more than 2,700 pilots across Air India and AIX Connect (including Air Asia India and Air India Express) as well as for more than 5,600 of Air India's cabin crew.
Air India has planned to hire over 4200 cabin crew trainees and 900 pilots in 2023 as the airline adds new aircraft and rapidly expands its domestic and international operations.
Air India had issued show cause notices to the pilot-in-command and four crew members and derostered them pending investigation. However, the cabin crew association has demanded that the derostering of flight crew be revoked.
