Air India Raises Pilot Salaries Up to 15 Percent

Air India is raising pilot salaries by up to 15 percent as the Tata Group-owned carrier prepares for massive fleet expansion. The updated compensation package maintains a 40-hour monthly guarantee while increasing the hourly rate for excess flight time. Crucially, the company is establishing a unified seniority list across its mainline and Air India Express divisions. For aspiring airline aviators, this clarifies a direct career path, requiring pilots to upgrade to captain on narrow-body aircraft before eventually transitioning to wide-body command.
