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, when we will have 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.

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.”

Jet2.com is the third largest registered airline in the UK, and we were recently named Best Airline – UK and Best Low-Cost Airline – Europe in the inaugural TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice awards for airlines. We are also the only UK airline to be recognised by Which? as a Recommended Provider. A recent report by the Institute of Customer Service also showed that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays leads the industry for customer satisfaction, meaning a passion for looking after customers is an absolute must.

With a growing fleet of aircraft, including 34 brand new Boeing 737-800NG aircraft which are being delivered between 2016 and 2019, there is an ever-growing need for enthusiastic, dedicated and passionate Pilots to join our team, particularly B737 Type Rated First Officers.

The roles are targeted at experienced Pilots with a strong training record and the commitment, energy and flexibility required to deliver the best service to our customers.

The Ground Operations Team is responsible for ensuring that flights depart safely and on time. Working as part of a team of Customer Helpers, they work hard to ensure that our customers depart on time, providing the perfect start to a lovely holiday.

Aspiring Cabin Crew members will be expected to deliver a consistently high level of safety and a VIP service to customers, working closely with the Captain and the rest of the Crew to make every flight memorable.

As the UK’s leading leisure airline, operating a fleet of more than 80 aircraft in Summer 18 to popular destinations in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands and a wealth of European Cities, this marks an exciting time for Pilots, Cabin Crew and Ground Operations employees to get onboard with the Jet2.com team.
