easyJet, one of Europe’s leading airlines, has launched its annual recruitment drive for seasonal cabin crew to fly next summer, to serve the predicted ramp-up in demand. easyJet is recruiting for 1,500 seasonal crew roles across Europe for its summer operations between March and October next year. Of these, 1,100 of the jobs being advertised are set to be based in the UK alongside 250 seasonal crew who are set to return to the airline having worked with easyJet last summer.
With sufficient pilots already in place to support operations for summer 2022, the airline is now looking to reopen its cadet pipeline, starting with taking on 150 newly qualified cadet pilots in the UK who had originally been due to join the airline at the beginning of the pandemic. They will now join between January and April 2022. In addition to this, the airline is planning to begin recruitment in the coming weeks for experienced Airbus pilots, to be based in Europe.
Last week, easyJet confirmed it would be expanding its UK fleet with three more aircraft across its Bristol and Manchester bases for the summer 2022 season. The Manchester base will be larger than ever with 20 aircraft based there connecting the North West to key cities and holidays destinations across Europe.
