India has over 10,000 unemployed pilots but airlines can’t hire them


Episode 116


Airlines in India, from Indigo to Akasa, are on a spree to expand their fleet. Around a thousand more aircrafts will be flying the Indian skies in the coming few years.

Tune in to find out.

Recommendation

Airlines want pilots. Pilots want jobs. Why are thousands unemployed?
