Airports Authority of India is recruiting 389 executives under advertisement number 12/2026/CHQ/DR-CBT, split between Manager posts and Junior Executive posts across roughly fifteen post codes. Disciplines span engineering streams such as civil, electrical and electronics, alongside finance, law, human resources and commercial functions.
Manager posts carry the higher age ceiling of 32 years and generally expect a relevant degree plus experience, while Junior Executive posts are the entry level grade with a ceiling of 27 years. Both are reckoned as on the closing date of 7 September 2026, with the standard relaxations of five years for SC and ST, three years for OBC and ten years for PwBD candidates.
Selection is through a computer based test, followed by document verification and a medical examination. Pay is on the industrial dearness allowance pattern used across central public sector enterprises.
The fee is waived for SC, ST, PwBD and all women candidates as well as AAI apprentices, which is a wider exemption than most central recruitments offer.
