AAI Consultant / Junior Consultant / Associate Consultant Recruitment 2026 — 18 posts, last date TODAY

The Airports Authority of India (AAI), Southern Region, Chennai has invited online applications for 18 consultant posts — Senior Consultant, Consultant, Junior Consultant and Associate Consultant — across 13 categories under Advertisement No. 01/HR/2026/RHQ-SR, published on 7 October 2026. The last date is 10 November 2026 — today — extended from 27 October 2026 by Corrigendum-01 dated 27 October 2026. Applications opened on 7 October 2026 and are online via the AAI recruitment portal.

Posts, pay and age

The 18 posts are: Junior Consultant (Clinical Psychologist) 1, Junior Consultant (Airport Systems) 1, Consultant (Bird & Wildlife Management) 1, Associate Consultant (Bird & Wildlife Management) 1, Junior Consultant (Obstacle Management & Aerodrome Safeguarding) 1, Associate Consultant (Obstacle Management & Aerodrome Safeguarding) 1, Consultant (Horticulture) 2, Senior Consultant (Law) 3, Consultant (Content Writer) 1, Consultant (Graphic Designer) 1, Consultant (Video Editor) 1, Junior Consultant (Technical) 2 and Associate Consultant (Technical) 2. Monthly remuneration is all-inclusive: Associate Consultant Rs. 70,000, Junior Consultant Rs. 1,00,000, Consultant Rs. 1,20,000 and Senior Consultant (Law) Rs. 1,50,000.

Age limits are 30 years for Associate Consultant, 35 years for Junior Consultant, 40 years for Consultant and 45 years for Senior Consultant (Law). The cut-off date for age, qualification and experience is 27 October 2026 — the original closing date — and the corrigendum does NOT revise it, so eligibility is still judged as on 27 October 2026 even though the last date was extended. No minimum age is stated in the advertisement. No application fee is mentioned anywhere in Annexure-I (13 pages read in full).

Terms and selection

The posts are on contract for 1 year initially, extendable by 1 year at a time up to a maximum cumulative period of 5 years. Consultants work full-time as independent consultants, not as AAI employees: no DA, accommodation or medical benefits are given, TA/DA is paid only for official travel, leave is 1.5 days per month, and TDS applies. Selection is by document verification and interview, with a minimum of 50 marks in the interview for selection on merit ranking; the DV and interview schedule will be intimated later. Corrigendum-01 also corrects the vacancy-table heading 'Experience' to read 'Experience required'; all other terms are unchanged.

Note on places of engagement: most posts are at RHQ/SR, Chennai or Chennai Airport. The two Technical posts are engaged at outstation airports in the Southern Region; the Annexure-I remuneration table does not state their places of engagement. A secondary EDCIL document names Vijayawada, Tirupati, Madurai and Rajahmundry airports for the Technical posts — this is NOT stated in Annexure-I, so it is not presented here as verified.
