Mumbai: No-frills carrier AirAsia India plans to triple its head count to over 4,800 by 2020 from 1,612 in 2017 as it seeks to spread wings to international skies besides expanding domestic operations, a top executive has said.
The Tatas-AirAsia-run airline is also looking to break even by this December or early next year, managing director and chief executive Amar Abrol said.
The Bengaluru-based budget carrier will be completing four years this June.
"In 2017, we had 1,612 employees, which we plan to take to 2,569 this year and 3,684 in the subsequent year. By 2020, we expect to have 4,834 people working for us," Abrol told PTI during an interaction here last evening.
He said most of this hiring will be made for pilots, cabin crew, and ground operations, which account for almost 95 per cent of the total workforce.
"There will not be much hiring in the back office or at the headquarters or in the strategy section, but largely it will be for aircraft-related functions," Abrol added.
