Air India terminates 57 pilots, subsidiary still hiring

New Delhi: While 57 pilots protest the termination of their services by Air India, its subsidiary company, Alliance Air, has begun recruiting for positions of commander and first officer.

Alliance Air had advertised for vacancies of commander and first officer last week, the day after its parent company Air India issued termination letters to 57 pilots. The recruitment process will end by September 18.

Air India has said that 57 pilots “seeking greener pastures” had “resigned” from the services of the airline citing financial constraints.
