Also, women employees constitute as much as 51 per cent of Air India’s workforce.

“In the last two years since the homecoming of Air India to Tata group, there has been a sharp rise in the number of women employees in every sphere of the airline’s activities. At Air India Express, over 13 per cent of pilots are women and close to 50 per cent of the workforce comprises women employees,” the statement added.
