Air India, India’s largest airline, has revealed unprecedented interest in its talent augmentation programme, Vihaan.AI, which is a key pillar of its five-year transformation roadmap.
The airline, which had not recruited in non-operations areas in over 15 years, is quickly adding talent in all areas of its business, including Commercial functions such as revenue management, sales, distribution, network planning, and marketing; Business Support Services such as HR, finance, IT, and analytics; and Operations, which includes inflight product design, ground, engineering & airport services, rostering, and operations control.

The airline’s aggressive expansion plan, which has already resulted in the return of 17 long-grounded aircraft and the lease-in of 30 narrow- and wide-body aircraft over the next 12 months, necessitates a significant increase in the flying crew.
The first phase of this initiative to supplement talent has been met with resounding success. In the last two months, over 1,752 applications for pilots and 72,000 applications for cabin crew have been received and are being reviewed.
