"In line with this dynamic expansion, the company will be upgrading carefully selected First Officers to command positions," said the Delhi-based airline. IndiGo currently operates 56 of a total of 280 firm orders for Airbus A320 aircraft to be delivered by the end of 2025.
The airline wants to take out its pilots out of their routine working environment and immerse them in a training development programmes that will identify their needs.
It may be recalled that the airline surfside the industry last year by ordering 180 Airbus A320s from European aircraft manufacturer Airbus for a valuation of $15.6 billion (Rs 70,000 crore), indicating that the aviation industry is beginning to fly out of turbulence.
