Akasa Air

1. Application and resume screening

Candidates typically apply through Jobaaj or the Akasa Air careers page, and recruiters shortlist profiles based on relevant aviation, engineering or corporate function experience. For flying and ground roles, basic eligibility such as age, education and physical fitness criteria is verified at this stage.

2. Recruiter screening call

A talent acquisition specialist typically conducts a short call to discuss background, current role, and interest in joining a fast-growing airline. This call also covers expected location, willingness to relocate to an operating base, and basic salary expectations.

3. Departmental or technical interview

A senior team member from the relevant function, such as flight operations, engineering, ground handling or a corporate department, assesses role-specific skills and knowledge. Questions typically probe depth of prior experience and familiarity with aviation regulations or systems relevant to the role.

4. Assessment or skill evaluation

Depending on the role, candidates may go through a simulator check, safety and service orientation exercise, or a practical skills or case-based test. This stage is used to validate hands-on competence beyond what a resume or interview alone can show.

5. Panel or managerial round

A panel of managers evaluates judgement, safety mindset, customer orientation and fit with Akasa Air's fast-paced, service-driven culture. Candidates are often asked to describe how they have handled pressure situations in a previous aviation or service role.

6. HR interview and offer

The final round covers compensation, base location, and joining timelines, followed by an offer letter. HR also shares details on training schedules, uniform and grooming standards, and the onboarding process before the candidate joins.
