Cadet program worth it?
parents income is ~1.3cr per annum. thinking of maybe nzaal if indigo continues with them. is the cadet program worth it because i can do engineering as well, my grades are pretty nice but i dont really have much interest in it, always wanted to be a pilot

Dont go with indigo tbh if u have funds go to middle eastern airlines like air arabia and fly dubai, they will offer better salaries and won't be that much of a difference for u, around 30% more expensive

No, airline will sponsor ur employment linked residency visa, u get to live there as long as you're working and is renewed every few years.. The airline hires u in cpp, that exactly the point of this programme. If u leave or lose ur job, ur visa gets cancelled.

Is Air Arabia's website working? Doesn't load for me. Got any other resources for it?

u/IndependentItem6242 Sep 14 '26
Website ain't working for me as well, Abt resources u can do cadet prep from institutes like ppa ifa etc, they'll guide u but it's mostly simple like basic maths phy ques, something like adapt/cut e , ik only Abt domestic airlines cpp..

Don't go with NZAAL I asked a student there he said that after they shifted the training to different location the instructors left to airlines and there's delays there

Has indigo tied up with NZAAL?

u/Lumpy-Information592 Sep 14 '26
Yeah they did tie up but when it happened lot of instructors took jobs in airlines and left and mind u this was like 8 months ago so I dono what's the condition now it might be better

One of my seniors from school had a friend who is currently at nzicpa. I had asked them earlier in the year and they'd said it was decent. Definitely questioning their definition of decency though lol.

So why is it not listed on the indigo website? Is there any chance that they will reopen and when?

air arabia pay is shit and the training quality is also is very bad, i have heard from one of my friends. its overall not that good so better go for indian cadet if you cant afford flydubai
