Kolkata, 13 January 2019 – Lion Air Group would like to alert the public about an airline staff recruitment scam that uses the Lion Air brand without authorization, in order to lure the public to participate in its scheme.
The scammer circulated a recruitment notice through a leading newspaper in India on 6 January 2019, about a walk-in interview between 12pm-5pm from 7 January 2019 onwards at Salt Lake City, Kolkata and included a demand for security deposit of INR 30000 to INR50000.
The Lion Air Group strongly advises the public to disregard such scams - the Lion Air India does not operate in India, and no Lion Group Airline engages any external agent for recruitment nor charge for job interviews. No member of Lion Air Group will be held liable for any claims pertaining to the false scheme. All official announcements of Lion Air Group are made via the relevant airline’s official channels and credible mass media.
Lion Air Group will not hesitate to take legal action against individuals or groups who organize illegal schemes using the Lion Air brand.
