EasyJet announces plans to create over 1,200 new cabin crew jobs

EasyJet is set to create more than 1,200 jobs in its largest cabin crew intake ever.

The budget airline will be appointing men and women to permanent and fixed-term positions in the cabin crew, increasing its total number to 8,100.

This announcement follows on from EasyJet starting a recruitment drive for more than 450 new pilots and giving the opportunity to its first officers to be promoted into captain roles.

In addition, earlier this month Easyjet applied for an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) in Austria to continue flying in the EU following Brexit.

The airline applied to Austro Control for its certificate and Austria’s Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology for an airline operating licence which will allow it to set up its new Vienna-headquartered airline EasyJet Europe.

Tina Milton, EasyJet’s head of cabin service, said: “We’re delighted to be opening recruitment for more than 1,200 cabin crew positions today.

“EasyJet is a fantastic company to work for, with everyone across the airline working together as one team to ensure we provide the highest standard of service for our customers.

“Being cabin crew is a very rewarding role. Our teams are extremely professional and energetic with a real sense of fun. We’re looking forward to welcoming more people into our growing team.”
