Air India is setting up a Flight Training Organisation (FTO) in Amravati, Maharashtra, to train 180 pilots per year. This initiative, part of a collaboration with the Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC), will be located at Amravati’s Belora airport and will be operational by Q1 FY26.

The FTO will have 31 single-engine aircraft and three twin-engine aircraft for training. Air India has been awarded a 30-year tender by MADC to establish and operate this DGCA-licensed facility.
