Cabin Crew Direct ties up with Kuoni India

New Delhi: Global aviation training and recruitment major Cabin Crew Direct is planning to set up seven cabin crew training and recruitment centres in the country.
The UK-headquartered firm would be running the centres in collaboration with Kouni India, subsidiary of Switzerland- based Kouni International, and plans to place around 70-80 cabin crew executives with major global airlines by end of this year.
“We have just set up the first centre in collaboration with Kouni at New Delhi and would be opening six other centres at Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Chandigarh soon,” Cabin Crew Direct Chief Executive Officer John Ellis told PTI.
He said the company aims to tap the existing market for cabin crews in major airlines, specially those from the Middle East.
“We have agreements with major airlines from the Middle East region including Qatar Airways, Air Arabia, Gulf Air and Emirates. The demand for cabin crew members is extremely high with the Middle East airlines themselves likley to have a vacancy of close to 18,000 during the one year,” Ellis said.
He added that the size of the aviation market in India is itself around Rs 21,000 crore.
