Upon successful selection, cadets begin their training journey on designated trainer aircraft to earn their Commercial Pilot License (CPL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the completion of their CPL, cadets receive type rating training on specific aircraft models according to SpiceJet&#8217;s operational requirements. This specialized training prepares them for the particular aircraft they will eventually operate within the airline&#8217;s fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing both their CPL and type rating certifications, cadets transition into active service as pilots with SpiceJet Airlines, beginning their professional flying careers with the company that supported their training journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This structured pathway ensures that candidates receive thorough preparation before taking command of commercial flights, maintaining the airline&#8217;s commitment to safety and operational excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bottom-line\">Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SpiceJet (SG), an Indian low-cost airline based in Gurgaon, operates 73 destinations with a 4% domestic market share as of 2025.
