Hear What Our Pilots Have to Say!
“Being an aviator for the past decade , life has been full of enthusiasm and glamour. Donning the uniform brings immense pride and a sense of responsibility while in the flight deck. Happy to be living my dream with each passing day and making Air India and my family proud!”
Capt. Kirti Gupta - Airbus 320, 9 yrs
“What inspired me to become a pilot was the allure of conquering the skies, the passion for aviation, and the joy of connecting people and places through the art of flying. If you're a young, aspiring pilot, consider joining Air India's pilot cadet programme – it is your ticket to a career filled with skill, and letting your dreams take flight.”
Capt. Soniya Jain - Airbus 320, 17 years
“The profession is exciting, challenging and you travel the globe, too. The cockpit will eventually become your second home. Discipline towards punctuality, domain knowledge and a regulated lifestyle are some of the key factors to achieve your goal. The renumeration is attractive, and it will allow you to cater to the wellbeing of your family. With Air India, sky is not the limit, it's just the beginning!”
Capt. Prabhav Bedi - Airbus 320, 9 years
"Being an aviator is the ultimate articulation of human imagination. A glance across the windshield of my airplane gives me a sense of utmost freedom. As a pilot, I am forever in a trustworthy role. This profession nudges us to be at the peak of our health, skill, and knowledge always."
Capt. Mohd Ghani Khan - B787 , 20 years
"While seeing new places is enthralling, keeping yourself physically fit for your annual medical exam and flying erratic schedules can be demanding. But what inspires me every day to be an aviator is the love and gratitude I experience. From uniting people or transporting medical aid, this purpose propels me to be better every single time."
