New Delhi: Faced with a severe shortage of pilots, Air India has decided to open a flying school to overcome the issue. The school, which will start operations at Amravati in Maharashtra soon, aims to train 180 pilots a year.
The school will function under the Air India Aviation Academy and will have 30 single-engine and four multi-engine aircraft for training purposes.
Incidentally, Air India has ordered 470 new aircraft to expand its fleet and their delivery will take place in the coming years.
