IAF chopper pilots to fly Pawan Hans

New Delhi: In a move to provide its senior pilots with an attractive second career option and help aviation companies, IAF proposes to release around 20 of its helicopter pilots for the civil sector every year.
A MoU has been signed between IAF and Pawan Hans, under which the helicopter pilots “nearing their end of flying career” in IAF will be inducted into the public sector company. The IAF, incidentally, had signed a similar agreement with Air India last year.
“The MoU with Pawan Hans is indicative of IAF’s commitment to the growth of aviation in the country, be it civil or military. It will not only promote mutual benefits to both the organisations but will prove to be a milestone for Indian aviation as a whole,” said IAF chief Air Chief Marshal F H Major.
