Low-cost airline Jet2.com has announced a major recruitment drive to fill 1,000 new roles within the airline, with plans to hire 180 new pilots
The company plans to hold road shows to fill the positions, starting in Leeds on 9 September. Following the recent addition of an eight UK base in Birmingham with flights launching in 2017, alongside the acquisition of 30 new B737-800 aircraft, the first arriving in September 2016, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are looking to invest in their next phase of growth and development.
“Our family-friendly formula is clearly working with customers and it means that we’re one of the UK’s fastest growing airlines,” said Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays.
“We have exciting plans to expand the number of destinations we fly to, as well as the number of UK bases we fly from, and this means that our team is growing all the time too,” Heapy added. “If you’re a pilot, engineer or aspiring cabin crew, and want to join the team of the UK’s favourite airline, then we’d be delighted to see you at our Leeds roadshow.”
Jet2.com is looking to recruit B737 & B757 Type Rated and Non Type Rated Captains and First Officers. The roles are targeted at experienced pilots with an existing commercial or military background, a strong training record and the ‘commitment, energy and flexibility required to deliver Friendly low fares to their all-important customers.’
