IndiGo has teamed up with Garuda Aviation Academy to train future pilots in a 21-month course, supporting the airline's Cadet Pilot Program. Trainees will undergo ground schooling in Gurugram and complete further training in South Africa. IndiGo aims to meet the rising demand for skilled pilots.

In a strategic move, IndiGo has announced a partnership with Garuda Aviation Academy to train fresh pilots as future junior first officers under its Cadet Pilot Program.

The intensive 21-month training course includes a three-month ground schooling phase at Garuda Aviation Academy's Gurugram training center, followed by 12 months at 43 Air School in South Africa, an institution recognized for training over 6,000 entry-level pilots. "The partnership with Garuda Aviation Academy will bolster our Cadet Pilot Programme," said Captain Ashim Mittra, Senior Vice President for flight operations at IndiGo.

Indicating an industry-wide transformation, IndiGo's initiative seeks to address the burgeoning demand for skilled pilots, driven by substantial aircraft orders from India's leading carriers. Aligning with the government's UDAN mission to enhance regional air connectivity, IndiGo also stresses its dedication to providing safe, affordable, and hassle-free travel for its passengers.
