Indigo Partners Garuda Aviation

No-frills carrier IndiGo on Thursday said it has partnered with Garuda Aviation Academy to train fresh pilots as future junior first officers, under the airline's Cadet Pilot Program.

The 21-month course includes a three-month ground schooling at Garuda Aviation Academy training centre in Gurugram, followed by 12 months of training at 43 Air Schools in South Africa, which has a track record of training over 6,000 ab initio pilots over the years.

Over the last 13 years, the airline said, it has formed eight such partnerships and inducted over 1,000 pilots through these full training programmes, including commercial pilot licence and A320 type rating.

These courses start right from cadet selection to induction into the airline as a pilot.

Moreover, this initiative aligns seamlessly with the central government's regional air connectivity scheme -- UDAN mission -- fortifying IndiGo's commitment to connecting with smaller and medium-sized towns and cities.

India is going to have a huge demand for pilots as the domestic carriers IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa-together have ordered 1,120 aircraft since February last year.

Besides these orders, Indian carriers are set to take deliveries of new planes that were ordered earlier. IndiGo alone has an order book of nearly 1,000 planes.

India's commercial airlines, reportedly, are likely to nearly double fleet size to 1,400 by the 2029-30 fiscal year.
