Air India looks to revamp cabin crew ahead of fleet additions

Mumbai: Air India is trying to mix youth with experience amongst its cabin crew.
It has hired close to 1,000 people as cabin crew in the last few months within the age bracket of 20-27.
“We want a good mix of youth and experience. Once the new inductees are trained, we will integrate them into the existing staff for a good mix of experience and youth,” said an Air India official.
Many of the new inductees have been hired through subsidiaries of Air India, which makes them contractual employees, he added.
The airline's recent staff additions are also a preparation for the new fleet additions.
It is expected to take deliveries of the first batch of Boeing 787 Dreamliners from the end of this year.
“We want to offer our passengers a fresh experience on the 787 Dreamliner. The uniforms will also see an overhaul soon. We have asked the National Institute of Fashion Technology, Delhi to design the new uniforms,” said an airline official.
