In a memo to the employees, Campbell Wilson, CEO, Air India, has informed employees that the counting, auditing, approving and reporting process is on; and that they will soon receive news of annual appraisal.
Wilson shared that Air India is in the process of compiling numbers, and the annual appraisal will come in retrospective effect from 1 April 2024.
The company, according to Wilson, is tallying its yearly financial figures and also working on the appraisal cycle. Therefore, he has requested the employees to be a bit patient and wait for the process to be completed.
The official mail also revealed that Air India’s third A350 aircraft has been put into service, along with two new A320s.
The first batch of cadet pilots has been brought on board and the members are readying to begin training at Air India’s partner flying academies in the US in late April 2024.
Air India is undergoing the final phase of the transformation process called Vihaan.AI, which began in 2022. This was the Tata Group’s transformation plan for Air India under which it intended to grow the airline’s fleet and network, and also revamp its customer proposition, ensuring reliability, sustainability and innovation. Last year, as a part of this process, a new roster system had also been put in place which permitted crew to switch flights and even manage their accommodation during layovers. This was a step towards its plans to increase the carrier’s market share to a minimum of 30 per cent in the domestic market, while also increasing international routes.
