Air India Raises Retirement Age for Pilots and Staff
Air India is changing how long its employees can work before they retire.
Pilots, who currently retire at 58, will now be able to work until 65.
Non-flying staff's retirement age will increase from 58 to 60.
This change aligns with Vistara, which merged with Air India.
The announcement came from the company's CEO.
It is not clear if this affects the retirement age of cabin crew, but it is 58.
Air India employs approximately 24,000 staff.
Air India will increase the retirement age for pilots to 65 years.
Non-flying staff retirement age will be raised to 60 years.
The announcement was made by CEO and MD Campbell Wilson.
The changes align with the former Vistara.
