Air India's staff strength to be right-sized: Ajit Singh

Bangalore: Some wings of national carrier Air India would soon be hived off to right-size its staff strength and monetise its assets for an early turn-around, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said on Tuesday.
"As part of the Rs 30,000-crore ($5.5 billion) turn-around package, Air India's engineering and ground support units will be hived off into separate entities to reduce its employee ratio per aircraft and make it more efficient and productive," Ajit Singh told reporters here.
The debt-ridden and loss-making national carrier has about 27,000 employees, including 18,000 in ground-based operating units such as maintenance, repairs, baggage handling and allied services across the country.
