June 07, 2012 18:58

After virtually shutting the doors on 100 sacked Air India pilots, Government is working on a plan to replace them with those shed by some private airlines
like Jet Airways.

Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh today said alternative plans were being made to ensure that operations of the state-run carrier were normalised within two-three months so that the revival plan could be put in place.

Observing that there were about 500 expat pilots in the country, he said, "We have to get in touch with them." There are about 60-odd expat pilots, trained on wide-body aircraft like Boeing 777s or Airbus A-300s, whose contracts with Jet Airways have ended or are about to expire.
