HelloIndia's biggest airline by marketshare IndiGo has hiked salaries of its pilots by 8% and cabin crew by 16% on average, maintaining a gap between itself and its rivals, said a source in the know.
Now a first officer will get Rs 2.61 lakh monthly for flying his stipulated 50 hours. He can get Rs 3.3 lakh if he flies for 90 hours. A senior first officer will get Rs 3.75 lakh for 70 hours of flying which can go up to Rs 4.3 lakh if he does 90 hours. A captain will get Rs 6.01 lakh for 70 hours and over Rs 7 lakh for 90 hours.
Hope this helps you.

Dear Ajith, requirements vary slightly. General requirements state that applicants must have completed high school with English as one of the subjects, must take IELTS or TOEFL. For admissions you must have a passport, medical certificate, financial evidence and any other requirement stated by the school. Mount Royal University, Fly Blue bird, Atlantic Flight College are some good ones.
