SpiceJet hires over 100 Jet pilots, cabin crew

With thousands of Jet employees out of work as Jet Airways temporarily halted its operations, its rival SpiceJet today said that it is hiring pilots, cabin crew, technical and airport staff.

SpiceJet is giving jobs to pilots, cabin crew, technical and airport staff who recently lost their jobs due to closure of Jet Airways, news agency ANI tweeted citing SpiceJet. SpiceJet has already provided jobs to more than 100 pilots, more than 200 cabin crew and more than 200 technical and airport staff, ANI’s tweet added.

SpiceJet has been consistently increasing its fleet and on Thursday it announced introduction of 24 new flights on its domestic network.

“We will do more. We will also induct a large number of planes in our fleet soon. SpiceJet is making all possible efforts to minimise passenger inconvenience and serve Indian customers who are finding it difficult to get seats in this busy season,” ANI tweeted citing Jet Airways.

Debt-laden Jet Airways had to halt all-its operations temporarily on Wednesday as it failed to get emergency funding from a consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India.
