Leading leisure airline Jet2.com has announced a major recruitment drive, with a host of roadshows across the UK to fill over 1,700 Pilot, Cabin Crew and Ground Operations roles.
The announcement comes on the back of a successful recruitment campaign for this summer, which includes flights from new bases Birmingham and London Stansted. This expansion is set to continue in Summer 18, with the company having 9.8 million seats on sale (a 13% capacity increase) opening up a wealth of exciting opportunities for a host of talented Pilots, Cabin Crew and Ground Operations colleagues alike.
Roadshows are taking place throughout August and September at various airports and locations across the UK to support the recruitment of 180 pilot, 900 cabin crew and more than 700 ground operations positions.
The roadshows will offer the chance to meet members of the Jet2.com team, receive expert advice and information about the various roles on offer with an informal chat.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “It has been an exciting year for Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, and we are delighted to be creating so many opportunities to join our award-winning team. If you care passionately about looking after customers, we would love to see you at one of our upcoming roadshows and we look forward to welcoming you on board.”
