Retirement age became an issue during the merger of Vistara

Vistara, the Tata Group airline merged with Air India, had a retirement age of 65 years for pilots and 60 years for non-flying staff. Vistara was a joint venture between Tata and Singapore Airlines. Vistara was merged with Air India in November 2024. During the integration, there was discontent among a section of Air India pilots that the retirement age was different for them and their counterparts at Vistara.

In recent times, some pilots and cabin crew members have left Air India. According to the report, sources say that the retirement age of Air India pilots is currently 58 years. But for most pilots, it has been increased to 65 years. This age is also the maximum limit approved for commercial pilots by aviation regulator DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation).
