Business Jet Ops in India

[jetopa]

I have been offered to temporarily (= 3 months) work for an Indian automotive company, which builds cars and motorcycles. They are receiving their first large-cabin business twinjet of the latest generation soon and intend to operate out of Mumbai...

Any advices and/or caveats? I have no intention of getting an Indian license nor moving there permanently, but I wouldn't mind being there and doing flights out of this country for a few months.

Thanks for your answers!

Little cars, big ideas

Depending on how you trust people, I would ask for your round trip business class ticket up front.

Then one months salary up front.

Then beware the DGCA, might insist that you have an Indian Medical. Then perhaps an Indian Air Law........

The aircraft is I assume under Indian Registration.

Then insist on JW Marriott accomodation, not company guest house.

Take your medication, as per your local AME warnings.

I did two years there, and several friends have just finished the same exercise.

I really enjoyed my time there, but had to insist on all the little luxuries, lie accomodation, food, laundry, being to an acceptable standard.

I assume you are TRE/TRI on type.

good luck.

That's a minimum requirement.

I'd prefer to avoid that - hence 'only' three months.

The aircraft is I assume under Indian Registration.

Most probably, yes.

Then insist on JW Marriott accomodation, not company guest house.

Definitely. Thanks!

TVS motors?
All I would like to ask you is,how did you get a job offer when we could not after applying for the last 2 years!
More hours I guess.

Hit the nail on the head... They would rather have an expat with lots of time on type.
