GoAir to hire 500 personnel, expand fleet to 26 planes

New Delhi: GoAir plans to hire 500 personnel, including pilots, in the coming months as the budget carrier prepares to expand its aircraft fleet and fly overseas next year.Gearing up to implement its ambitious expansion plans, the Wadia group carrier is looking to have 26 aircraft by end of March next year from the current fleet strength of 21, a senior official said.The airline's CEO Wolfgang Prock-Schauer said plans are on for listing and it would happen at the "right time"."We will expand our fleet by up to 26 aircraft by the end of March next year.
We need to build up for the expansion that we are going for. Every aircraft (inducted) needs 100 increase (in manpower) approximately. So we will naturally hire," he told PTI.
This would translate to hiring requirement of at least 500 personnel, including a significant number of pilots.
At present, GoAir's head count is around 2,300, Prock-Schauer said.
