Air India CEO Campbell Wilson announced on Friday that the airline is currently in the process of gathering data to determine the annual performance evaluations of its employees, effective from April 1.
In his weekly communication to staff, Wilson mentioned that the airline will communicate the results to the employees once the data compilation, reporting, auditing, and board approvals are finalized, which is expected to take a few weeks.
“As the Financial Year draws to a close, it marks the completion of our annual performance review cycle and provides an opportunity to assess our financial performance for the year. We appreciate your patience as we undergo this essential yet time-consuming process,” he stated in the first ‘Friday Message’ of the 2024-25 fiscal year.
Wilson also shared updates on the airline’s operational developments, including the deployment of its third A350 aircraft on the crucial BOM-DEL route, and the addition of two new A320s to the fleet.
Furthermore, he mentioned the recruitment of the first batch of ‘Cadet Pilots,’ who are scheduled to commence their ground training at partner flying schools in the US later this month.
Meanwhile, Vistara, which was merged with Air India in 2022 and is a joint venture of Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, has been experiencing flight delays and cancellations, with several pilots reporting sick. The airline has been grappling with pilot issues following the revision of monthly emoluments for first officers of its A320 fleet, subsequent to the signing of new contracts.
