Air India to recruit 530 type-rated pilots on contract In one of the biggest pilot recruitment drives, state-run Air India will hire about 530 type-rated pilots on contract for the carrier's narrow-body fleet, expected to grow to about 80 aircraft by March 2018. The present strength of this fleet is 66.  The fresh recruitment of Airbus A320 pilots is in line with Air India's aircraft induction plans and aimed at overcoming the shortage which had many times led to cancellation of its flights at the last minute, according to a source.  At present, Air India has 1,441 pilots, with 670 of them flying 66 A320 family aircraft. Another 70 are under training. Air India's pilot strength would cross 2,000 by May this year when the recruitment exercise gets completed, the source said.
