New Delhi: Budget carrier AirAsia India has scaled up its workforce by more than 50 per cent to 1,050 people in the last one year as the airline looks to fly overseas and expand its fleet.
The existing workforce not only meets the current requirement but will also cater to future demand, AirAsia India CEO and MD Amar Abrol said during an informal interaction here.
"We grew from 650 odd people to about 1,050 (since March 2016). It covers about 12 aircraft (operations) from cabin crew and engineers' perspective and about 10-11 aircraft from the pilots' perspective," Abrol said.
AirAsia India, which is a joint venture between Tata Sons and Malaysian airline group AirAsia, currently has a fleet of eight Airbus A320 planes. It operates 58 flights per day to 13 domestic airports with Delhi and Bengaluru as its two bases.
Abrol also said that the airline plans to induct six more aircraft in this calendar year, while another six planes are expected to be added in the fleet by the middle of next year.
"We will expand from the current eight planes to fourteen by October depending on the business performance," he added.
