SpiceJet to hire pilots and cabin crew for its regional airline Mumbai: Gurgaon-based
budget airline SpiceJet will recruit 150 pilots and 300 cabin crew to
launch the regional airline connecting smaller towns with metro cities
in south India shortly.The airline announced its intent to tap the growing regional market with
an order for 15 Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft – which can
accommodate 70-80 people – in December last year. It is likely to choose
Hyderabad as its base for regional operations in the beginning."We will recruit 150 pilots and 300 cabin crew for the regional airline.
We will recruit chief of pilots and chief of engineering for the
regional operations as the aircraft is new for the Indian aviation
market. These positions will be filled in by the expats and we are in
the process of finalising the names,” said Neil Mills, CEO, SpiceJet.
The high crude prices have been a worry for the airlines – crude touched
$119 per barrel mark on Monday – but SpiceJet will be going ahead with
its expansion plans.
"There is some pain in the sector right now because of the oil prices,
but we will continue to expand. There is huge opportunity in the tier II
and the tier III cities and that is where we will be looking to
expand,” he said.Aviation experts feel SpiceJet will use the regional operations to
carry the feeder traffic for the onward journeys for international
legacy carriers like British Airways. 05/04/11 Manisha Singhal/
