Jet Air welcomes ex-employees back on board; 200 accept offer
In what signals a revival of the domestic airline sector, the country’s largest private carrier Jet Airways has asked hundreds of its former employees to re-join the carrier. Nearly 200 cabin staff who had left the company during the slowdown in the industry have already accepted the airline’s offer. Jet Airways is seeking to expand its fleet as well as its network. “We have contacted 400 people (who left the company since October 2008) and out of them, nearly 200 have re-joined us,” Jet Airways chief commercial officer Sudheer Raghavan told FE. The total staff strength of Jet Airways has come down from 13,500 in October 2008 to 11,500 in June 2010. About 2,000 ground and cabin staff had earlier put in their papers citing lack of advancement in their careers. The airline had resorted to fleet reduction and route rationalisation amid slackening demand for air travel. Jet Airways had, in October 2008, handed out pink slips to nearly 1,900 staff, but had taken back all of them within two days after an agitation by the sacked employees and pressure from trade unions and the Shiv Sena, the Maharashtra-centered political outfit. Most domestic airlines have now resumed hiring as they start expanding their operations to cater to the growing demand. Local air traffic has registered double-digit growth since June 2009 owing to the strong economy and an improved market sentiment.
India’s civil aviation sector to be in world’s top five: Praful Patel
India’s civil aviation sector will be among the top five in the world in the next five years, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said here.
“In the last six years we have been successful in bringing a revolution in India’s civil aviation sector, I do not mind saying that,” Mr. Patel said after inaugurating the new domestic—cum—international terminal at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) Airport here, which is likely to become operational from August 15.
“In 2004—05, we were considering our civil aviation sector as big, but at world level it was not much recognised.
In just six years, India’s civil aviation sector is ranked ninth in the world.
“In the next five years, India’s civil aviation sector will be among the top five in the world,” Mr. Patel said.
Mr. Patel, who had laid the foundation of the building in 2007, said inauguration of the new terminal at the Ahmedabad airport was a rare occasion. “It is a rare occasion when a minister lay the foundation of a building and inaugurates it too.”
The Aviation Minister also expressed the need for more air services in Gujarat, looking at the development.
“There should be increase of air service in Gujarat be it Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara, or Bhavnagar. Central Civil Aviation ministry would support all projects for Gujarat and we assure you there would be no discrimination,” he said.
When Mr. Patel requested the Gujarat government to consider the viability gap funding (VGF) model of the Centre, Chief Minister Narendra Modi said, “In the VGF model for north eastern states, it is the Central government which is funding the gap for airline connectivity. If this is given to Gujarat, I will adopt it right now.”
