AAI may recruit 519 new officers

Kolkata: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is likely to recruit 519 officers in the communication, navigation and surveillance (CNS) department to meet the existing shortage of staff strength in the sector. The city airport, which now has 83 officers in the CNS department will get 24 more officers by 2007-end.
The existing staff strength of the CNS is now 1,700, much lower than the sanctioned staff strength of 2,700. Taking stock at the situation, the Airports Authority Officers Association (AAOS) urged the AAI management to recruit new officers in the CNS.
“The AAI management finally accepted our demand and is expected to come out with the recruitment order in the next two-three months,” Samir Banerjee, regional secretary, AAOS said.
