SpiceJet will set up a pilot-training school to meet its growth requirements, airline’s Chairman Ajay Singh said on Tuesday. There is a shortage of trained commanders with domestic air traffic growing at 20 per cent and airlines increasing capacity. Singh, however, said the airline had adequate number of pilots and had not cancelled a single flight because of shortage of pilots.
