SpiceJet phases out expats on rupee falling

By phasing out expat pilots, SpiceJet is planning to save Rs 90 crore per annum. Foreign pilots employed by Indian airlines are paid in dollors. Not jut, SpiceJet, the falling rupee has made airlines in India to act in an area where they have dragged their feet for years - phasing out expat pilots. Now the low cost carrier SpiceJet has brought down its number of expat pilots, all of whom are commanders, from over 100 a year ago to just 25 now.
