Is airline captain salary only about the base pay?

While airline captain salary does prominently feature a significant base pay, it is far from the only source of earnings making the total compensation package much richer.

In India, a captain pilot salary (base) typically starts from INR 5 lakh to INR 8 lakh per month for domestic flying with senior captains sometimes reaching INR 10 lakh per month or more. On international routes or flying wide-body aircraft, salary airline captain figures can escalate to INR 10 lakh–INR 15 lakh per month or beyond. However these numbers represent just the foundation.

Additional pay comes from allowances and perks flying allowances, per diems bonuses free or discounted air travel, housing allowances medical coverage and more. Thus, the total salary of captain pilot is significantly higher than the base salary alone.

For context first officer pilot salary in India typically ranges from INR 1.5 lakh to INR 3 lakh per month initially and increases to INR 3 lakh–INR 6 lakh as experience grows. When promoted the jump to first officer pilot pay to captain pilot salary is substantial.

Moreover with growing seniority and flying hours captains rise to senior captain/check captain roles earning even more domestically around INR 10 lakh per month and internationally INR 15 lakh to INR 20 lakh or more.

airline captain salary isn’t only about the base; it includes base pay plus allowances per diems bonuses travel perks and more. Together these elements make the total compensation package at the captain level highly rewarding and well above the base alone.
