The IndiGo Cadet Pilot Program

We have collaborated with IndiGo, India’s foremost airline, in supporting and expanding the esteemed IndiGo Cadet Pilot Program. As IndiGo embarks on an ambitious journey to triple its fleet to 1,000 aircraft by 2035, the need for skilled pilots is more critical than ever, with an estimated 5,000 additional pilots required over the next five years. In this context, aspiring aviators can look to various flying schools in India and pilot training institutes in India for the necessary training. Are you prepared to navigate a 200-million-dollar aircraft across diverse continents, cultures, languages, and landscapes? If so, you have arrived at the perfect destination.

We believe that Garuda’s 21-month course will successfully foster the next generation of skilled pilots who will continue to uphold IndiGo’s commitment to providing safe, affordable and hassle-free travel for everyone
